[ASP/VBscript] Test for MDAC version?

Hi,

We have a ASP/VBscript webapplication which runs without problems on =
lots of webservers.=20
However, recently we installed the application on a shared hosting =
account for one of our clients and we've had nothing but trouble with =
it.

Currently we're having some vague problems again and I would like to =
verify that the webserver is running MDAC 2.6 or higher.
Can that be tested online with ASP?

Regards,=20

You can look at the Connection's Version property, but that is no guarantee:
the server could have a corrupted MDAC installation, a coondition that can
only be diagnosed using the free Component Checker available at
msdn.microsoft.com.

Thank you for your reply.

We checked it with:

set cn=3DServer.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Response.Write cn.Version

and it turns out this particular server was still running MDAC 2.5, so =
that may well have been the problem.

The host has updated the server to MDAC 2.81 now, so I hope everything =
will run smoothly from now on.
