Re: OLE DB 'Providers' on Vista Home Premium

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

You can't. The Vista administration tab is only for managing DNS ODBC
connections (DSN = Data Source Name) and cannot be used for either DSN-less
ODBC connections or for OLEDB connections (unlike ODBC, all OLEDB connection
are DSN-Less).

I'm running some (trial) programs that require OLE DB (MDAC). These
programs show a 'provider' for MS OLE DB drivers in their config. I'm
trying to get to the same settings via Vista itself but can't find a tab
under Admin to show them. I can get to ODBC drivers but not OLE.
There's basically no (local) Vista help on MDAC.
How can I access these settings directly via Vista?
