Re: Windows has no MS Access installed

It might seem an issue, but in practice (deploying apps on hundreds of PCs
world wide) the only PCs to have a problem where a few of those running
Win98 original edition that had never installed any Y2K updates etc. In
those few cases downloading the latest MDAC and Jet from the MS web site
fixed the problem (and did the user a big favour). OK, you may not guarantee
that every PC is running the *same* version of DLLs, but that is true of
Windows generally. Chill!

It is also easy to test if MDAC/Jet works on a PC or not and report a
problem immediately.Worry about designing a good app rather than deployment
of DLLs.

BTW I think (but could be wrong - shoot me down someone) having Access
installed does not necessarily mean you have MDAC/Jet DLLs as it uses its
own data access method not ADO and Jet 4.0. Or maybe that was just older
versions of Access....
