replacing ODBC files

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.customize (More info?)

I am having trouble with xp not allowing me to use older version ODBC files.
I have to use an older version for 6 odbc files in the system32 folder in
order to use the software my business in dependant on. If I replace with
older version xp will update to newer version every time I restart the PC.
Also I can't replace two that are in use (even in safe mode). Can anyone
tell me how to force XP to use the files I need and not update, and how I can
replace odbc files that are in use?

Thank you

Get in touch with the developer to obtain a newer version of the program.
Trying to downgrade the version of MDAC on Windows XP will only cause other
problems and probably result in the need to reinstall the OS.
