do you have to recreate ODBC after installing MDAC 2.8 -- sql server clients

Hello:

I just want to ask a quick question just for my future reference. There's
no emergency or anything. Take this scenario.

Client workstations have an ODBC connection, and the Terminal Services box
has an ODBC connection. The versions of the ODBC driver are different, and
you want to make them the same.

So, you download and install MDAC 2.8 on the client workstations and the
Terminal Services box. The version of the ODBC driver, unfortunately, does
not change.

In order to get the versions updated, do the ODBC connections themselves
need to be recreated?

Thanks!

No...not necessarily. The only problems I've seen have been
just the general install issues on Terminal Server.
The driver version change doesn't change on which - TS or
the workstations? Did you verify with Component Checker? Did
you reboot? There are some different steps for installing
MDAC on TS - did you follow those?
