Is there any reason I can’t use an older version of Data Access Application Block (sqlhelper) along with Enterprise Library (if I’m not using the data parts of it?)

EnterpriseLibrary is broken up into several different dlls, so you don’t even need to reference the parts you don’t want. Even if they are referenced, there’s nothing at all preventing you from mix and matching.
If you do come across cases where you have multiple classes with the same name referenced in the same class, just explicitly name them (or via a using statement) to make sure you grab the right object type.
Remember, the fully qualified name of an object includes its namespace, so SqlHelper in one isn’t the same as SqlHelper in the other as long as you include the namespace.
Have fun!
