    MDAC is a series of APIs for accessing data. (ADO DLLs, DAO, Drivers)

    If your app requires access to a data source (Access, SQL Server, Oracle, etc.). It will require some component of MDAC.

    Microsoft Data Access Components - a series of dll files Microsoft have built up which let your app communicate to databases. If you use ado or dao etc to add items to or read from a database, you're vb code will be calling on these dll's.
