Summary :
SAP Note highlights an issue where history is incorrectly displayed or unavailable due to improper MDAC installation on Windows systems. The guideline recommends repairing MDAC for Windows XP SP2, as advised by Microsoft, which may also work for other Windows versions. The repair involves reinstalling MDAC from the c:\windows\inf\mdac.inf file and directing it towards specified directories for necessary files. Post-reinstallation, users are instructed to run the Component Checker and clear any mismatch errors in COM and registry sections. Additionally, deleting .trc files from the SapWorkDir and verifying the presence of a History .mdb file ensures the fix's efficacy.
