    I'm sure you can find your answer here - just follow the OLEDB link on that page.

    Thread moved to Database Development forum (the "VB6" forum is meant for questions which don't fit in more specific forums)

    Based on the way your question was worded I guess you mean that you don't want to install any driver/provider, but that is not really possible - it would be like trying to drive a car that doesn't have any wheels.

    I get the impression that the OLEDB provider is smaller, so that should be an improvement.
