The ODBC Desktop Driver Pack drivers includes the following files:

   
   File Name          Version          Size
   ------------------------------------------
   Odbcji32.dll       4.0.6205.0       60,224

Note The Jet 4.0 Service Pack 8 download for computers that are running Microsoft Windows 95, Microsoft Windows 98, and Microsoft Windows NT version 4.0 does include the ODBC Desktop Driver Pack drivers but does not completely install the drivers. To correctly register the ODBC drivers on your computer, you also have to install Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2.6 or later. MDAC does not include these driver files, but MDAC does include the core ODBC DLLs that are required to install the drivers and to use the drivers. You must install MDAC after Jet 4.0 Service Pack 8 so that the files are correctly registered.Note The file size may vary slightly. The file size depends on the version of Windows that you are running on your computer. The file version does not change.

If you plan to use Jet Replication Manager with Jet 4.0 Service Pack 8 or later, and you do not have Mstran40.exe version 4.0.6508.0, you must also download and install Jet4repl.exe.
