If I create an vb app that connects to and retrives information from Access 2000. Does the end user have to have Access loaded on their machine to use the vb program?:rolleyes:

nope, just Jet which you can get from here www.microsoft.com/data
No, I have made apps that use an Access Database through ADO, and I just set up an ODBC connection. I put the mdb on the client machine without Access and it works.
What about stuff like inporting data and compact/repair? Will that work without Access on the system?
compact and repair, yes
importing, doesn't look so hot

Is there any documents on this. I'd like to read up on what is and ain't required...
Check out "DBEngine" at msdn.microsoft.com/library
Will do...
Thanks to All!
