    Using VB with Access 2000

    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?

    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.
