MDAC Upgrade

Please advice.
I have a WIN 2K SP3 ADV Server that runs SQL 2K with MDAC
2.6 SP1.
I would like to upgrade this to MDAC 2.7. Can I simply
run the MDAC 2.7 update or what is the Microsoft way to
do this.
Help Appreciated.SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 3a comes with MDAC 2.7 Service Pack 1a, so the
best way is to install the SQL Server Service Pack.

We run Win 2K SP4 and SQL2000 SP2 +. Remember to make sure that the server
MDAC is at least the same level as the client or higher. MDAC can introduce
changes that cause things like DTS, run from the client, to fail.
We upgraded the server to MDAC 2.7SP1A and then the clients. A simple
download and then run the DASETUP.
