On the page in the link above is written
Quote:
If you obtain the Jet 4.0 Service Pack 8 download for computers that are running Microsoft Windows 95, Microsoft Windows 98, and Microsoft Windows NT version 4.0, you will also receive the ODBC Desktop Driver Pack drivers. These drivers are included with the Windows 2000 operating system, the Windows XP operating system, and the Windows Server 2003 operating system.
So IMHO, it depends on the OS. If you were looking for ODBC for Apple, you could try and by Actual ODBC Driver for Access. [Edit] Oh yes, you were using KiX, so most probably, it will be on Windows. private_meta last post was 22 august. Don't think he is listening anymore... [/Edit]

Then you will need the Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2.8 SP1 I think. This is if you are using one of these OS'es
Quote:
System Requirements Supported Operating Systems: Windows 2000; Windows 98; Windows ME; Windows NT Available for x86-based computers only
But most probably, you will have it... I get the impression it is also more and more included in the OS, as on the MDAC download page is written:
Quote:
This redistributable installer for the MDAC 2.8 SP1 release installs the same Data Access components as Microsoft Windows XP SP2.

so i won't have the need to install MDAC afterwards
Not for pure functionality, but for security you should.
Out of the box Windows 2000 is at version 2.5 for MDAC
There are even hotfixes for MDAC that have come out aftre MDAC 2.8 SP1
So on a system that is getting automatic updates yeah they'll hot fix patch it, but it still won't auto apply 2.8 SP1
Which has better communication handling characteristics.
So when you get time you should think about updating your systems to MDAC 2.8 SP1 and then the hotfix.
