MSAccess through ODBC : Office needed ?
-
Hi ! My application is using an Access database through ODBC. Now, if I want to make it run on a computer which doesn't have MS Office installed, it doesn't work because there is no ODBC Access driver. Do you know if it is possible (and how) to install only an ODBC driver for Access and if this is freely installable ? Thanks for your help ! Jerome

Hi also You should install MDAC 2.7 and your problem is resolved. You can get it from MS for free. See ya Kurt Fast Prototyping

Additional to what Kurt has said, you do not need to install MDAC on Windows XP or Windows 2003 as they come pre-installed with the OS. IIRC Windows XP has at least 2.7 and Windows 2003 has at least 2.8 Ant. I'm hard, yet soft.
