How can I make sure that I have the latest drivers installed for use with my JET database?
|
|
|
The Microsoft JET drivers are what allows you to use MDB files for databases on your web site. In order to get the best results when using a JET database, this is what is recommended for your web server. Please note that if your site is hosted with an ISP, you will need to contact your ISP about performing any of these updates.
1) Use a current version of the Microsoft Scripting Engine
Older versions of the Microsoft scripting engine can have reliability problems when using JET databases (version 5.1 in particular). It is highly recommended to update the scripting engine to a current release. See FAQ article #312.
2) Use a current version of the MDAC/ADO Library.
The MDAC/ADO library is an important part of the system that allows web server applications to utilize any databases. Version 2.5 should be considered the least acceptable version of MDAC/ADO for a web server. See FAQ article #313.
3) Install the current JET Service Pack
The JET Service Pack updates all JET drivers. Since it is not unusual for other applications to mistakenly overwrite the JET drivers with older versions, we highly recommend reinstalling the JET drivers after installing any new applications on a web server. An important step that we recommend whenever installing the JET Service Pack is to always reboot the server after installation. This is true even if the installer for the JET Service Pack does not prompt you to do so. The current JET Service Pack can be downloaded from the Microsoft web site here:

Note: JET databases are the same format used by Microsoft Access. This simply means that Microsoft Access uses JET for it's native databases. You do not need to install Microsoft Access on the web server in order to use a JET database.
