Re: [Firebird-odbc-devel] MS Office compatability

[Olaf K. <ola...@sa...>]

Hello Dave,

since Microsoft Windows XP, MDAC 2.8 is integrated. In Windows 2000 you need
to install the MDAC manually.

We use Microsoft Office, especially Access to connect to firebird. I have
tested the gemini-odbc-driver, also the firebird-odbc-driver and both works
very well within all me known firebird-versions.

You can use ODBC with all Applications using ODBC. With the
odbc-driver-manager you can test the connection to firebird.

Best regards, Olaf

My client is unsuccessful in connecting to the database using the ODBC
driver. I have tested the driver on all my machines and it works.

Reading up on this, I discovered that MS Office (and other MS products)
install a different set of MDAC components. On the MS knowledgebase, I
discovered this:

"With so many recent MDAC releases, applications have experienced version
incompatibility issues under certain circumstances."

All my client's machines have MS Office installed, but I don't use it. 
Is the Firebird driver compatable with MS Office?
