    Using MS Access DB: dependencies?

    I would like to use a MS Access database to store data for a .NET 2.0
    application. Do I need to distribute MDAC or extra runtime files with
    it?
    Thanks,
    Andrea

      Hi Andrea,

      Based on your requirement, I agree with Robbe that you might want to
      consider using SQLServer express version instead of Access.

      On the other hand, the MDAC component no longer contains Jet components
      (required to access Access database) since 2.6, it's now included in latest
      system service pack:

      MDAC version 2.6 and later do not contain Jet or Desktop ODBC drivers
      (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/271908)

      How to obtain the latest service pack for the Microsoft Jet 4.0 Database
      Engine (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/239114/)
