connecting Excel to Access through ADO

[Guest]

I plan to put an Access database on a server, and build an Excel application
that pulls data from it via ADO. Will each user need a runtime version of
Access on their local machine, or is a copy of Excel all they will need?

If all you're doing is using an MDB file to store data, you don't need
Access to be installed on each client. Technically, you're not using Access:
you're using a Jet database.
