    Access DB

    Hi,

    I have been wondering about this question for a long time. When you write a program in VB against an Access Database, is it mandatory that the client have to install Microsoft Access on their computer?

    I heard you don't have to install Access because if you use ODBC, it doesn't matter. If that is true, can OLE DB be used instead of ODBC?

    Thanks

    I'm pretty sure they don't have to have access installed, but there probably are some drivers/dependencies needed.
    My evil laugh has a squeak in it.
