Hello,

When opening an Access table, is it possible to specify the version of
Access that the table should be saved as? Can you create a new table
and save it as an Access 98 mdb?

On a related note, Microsoft's "MDAC Roadmap" says Jet is a deprecated
component, and no longer included with MDAC 2.6 and later.
Is this functionality (Jet) now included in the .Net Framework? Or do
we need to carry forward the last version of the Jet engine ourselves,
if we want our product to be able to read Access dbs?

Thanks.

I think this depends on the connection string you use, and the version of
Jet you have installed on your machine. Except I believe you use ADOX to
create the database, if I am not mistaken.
