Components of it are used by many software products. It is possible other software may have uninstalled part of it or it may just mean some components have been unregistered.
However, MDAC is difficult to fix if it has become corrupted. MDAC cannot be uninstalled and re-installed. If there is an upgraded MDAC this can be installed to fix the problem. Operating system service packs may also correct the problem. Timeless Time & Expense installs version MDAC version 2.8.
If there is not a new version of MDAC and installing the latest service pack for your operating system does not solve the problem, try the following.
Look for the following dlls. Open a command window. For each dll, "regsvr32 <full path\filename>".
C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\ole db\sqloledb.dll
C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\ole db\Oledb32.dll
C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\ole db\Msdasql.dll
