My SQL Server driver version has changed to 2000.80.194.00 and a third party program will not connect a SQL 7.0 Server. I've tried reinstalling mdac_typ but the version will not go back to version 3.XX. I'm running NT4.0 Workstation with SP6. I recently installed A palmpilot DB app that may have overwritten the ODBC SQL driver and I uninstalled that.

Try applying the SQL service pack again. This also updates MDAC.

To remove all mdac files, you have to download the component checker (cc.exe /d) from Microsoft's website (microsoft.com\data) and the necessary mdac bundle you want to install. Before running the utility, close all active programs (like antivirus, etc.) and programs that use odbc. Good luck !

Ran the newer version of cc found at microsoft.com/data. Still didn't resolve the problem. But I find the utility to be of interest. Version of driver still shows as 2000 in control panel.
