Hello,
>>DCOM 95/98 does not work on Windows NT. Windows NT can support DCOM if you install Windows NT service pack 2 or later.
>>MDAC can work properly on both Windows 9X as well as Windows NT. You can get the lasted MDAC at microsoft site or in Visual Studio 98 and some other product of Microsoft. The lasted version of MDAC, I know is MDAC 2.5 in windows 2000. In windows NT and windows 9x, MDAC 2.1 is the lasted version.

Bye.
