  I have installed SQL2K service pack 3 on a production server and have now come to find out that our business application must have MDAC 2.6, not MDAC 2.7. Does anyone know if I can revert back to MDAC 2.6 without going back to service pack 2? If so, how?

  MDAC is sharing resource in the system and it can't be reversed back to old version by reinstall sp2.

  Check following link for how to rollback MDAC. This article was authored for MDAC 2.6, but it is still applicable for MDAC 2.7.
