How did you enable ADBC for Acrobat 9, there is no ADBC field to enable, as described in the tech note on adboe's web site. Cheers

First, thank you for your contributions to the PDF community.
It appears the ADBC is still available with version 9 per [ulr=http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm?href=JS_API_AcroJSChanges.89.1.php#1515776&accessible=true]Adobe JS API Version 9 ADBC[/url]. You may need to add the full registry entry for vesion 9 and modify the program level from '8.0' to '9.0'.You will also have to establish the ODBC connection in Windows and the ADBC will only work with the full version of Acrobat and not Reader.
I should note that Adobe has been pushing the use of LiveCycle Designer forms and its data connection since version 7 and disabled the feature in version 8 and only has documented the registry modification for version 8.

Hi sorry, nether realised anybody had replied!
Follow Gkaiseril advice and that will work:-).
One bit of advice i can give extra is when you create the registry key you will notice the ADBC folder is not there which you mentioned below. what you have to to is create a new folder called ADBC within the acrobat folder and then assign the registry key inside the new folder you created. That will then work.
The registry key needs to be called bJSEnable with type Reg_DWord with a 1 value
Also for the record! ADBC does work in Acrobat Standard 9 with no problems :-)

I have followed the advice noted above for activating ADBC in Acrobat Pro (9); created the ADBC folder within the 9.0 folder, adding Dword "bJSEnable", plus the value of 1 and reboot.
The About Adobe plug-in, database connectivity tab still indicates that it is NOT loaded. Is this how I judge the status? Where is ADBC accessible, once loaded?
Thanks for your help

This technote from Adobe tells how to activate ADBC on Acrobat.
There is no sentence about, that it would not work with Acrobat Standard, so I think it will work with all Acrobat versions.
For more detailed information you should read the following manual:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/onlinecollaboration.pdf
Chapter 8 has alot of information about ADBC.
