Default sql7\sql200 connectivity

Im trying to access a sql200 database from a sql7 hosted stored
procedure and this is not working. I know that SQL7 is not compatible
with the MDAC for SQL 2000. Does anyone know if this is what is
causing me my problems and if so is it possible to upgrade the SQL7
MDAC without breaking it?

Thanks

Hi

You do not state what errors you are getting and exactly how these servers
are trying to be accessed.

AFAIK MDAC should not stop you accessing the server, what versions are you
running?

Could you be more specific about what "not working" means? Do you get an
error message (please post it in such case), or does it just hang, or
you get unexpected results?

Since we don't know what your problems, we can say what's causing it. But
you should be able to access a linked server running SQL 2000 from SQL 7.

I in fact do that on a regular basis.
