For PCs without Access installed, you need to include MDAC with your package. Get MDAC 2.5 SP3 here... http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...e9-dde7-4a60-b586-5d4fd6794db6&DisplayLang=en
You can also get 2.6 or 2.7 but they don't ship with JET 4.0 which you do need for MS Access.

mdac ver2.5

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I have installed mdac ver2.5 into his system but the application gave a exception saying that it requires mdac ver2.6 and above. (But ver2.6 and above dont support microsoft jet oledb, which i use for access2000).

Thus can you advise me on what i should do?
Do i have to change from Jet to other data providers? or is there a way to work around the support for mdac ver 2.6 with jet support.. Thanks again.

attached is the error sceen...

Download MDAC 2.6 and the Jet 4.0 seperatly.

Get the JET and SP that matches your OS...

I deployed a program yesterday and had the same proplem requires mdac ver2.6 and above. I installed 2.7 over my 2.5 and it wasnt a problem then.... so i think just install 2.7!
