Re: Requirements to Run ADO.NET Application

Jonathan,

Take note that JET driver (Access) is installed with MDAC (which is installed along .net, too).
However, JET driver was pulled out of MDAC for a while (now it is back in) and thus it isn't guaranteed to be available. I don't know which versions are missing the JET out of my head.

If that works with no additional software other than the .NET framework, that is exactly what I'm looking for.

I'll check it out. Thanks.

Jonathan,

Here is an example of a connection string to connect to an Access mdb
database file named "myDB.mdb":

Dim cn As New OleDbConnection(("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data
Source=myDB.mdb;"))

Really, I can use an Access database without Access? Where would I find out
about this? Is a connection string still involved? What does it look like?
That's what I'm trying to find out.
