Accessing MS Access 2002 database on win 95/98 OS

[alan]

Is it necessary to encode a VB6 software program (SP4)
that accesses a MS Access 2002 database on a "clean" Win
98 system with special database access controls, or can
this be done by distributing (and registering) DLL's? If
so, any idea which ones (or where to get the
information)? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I'm no expert on the use of VB6 with Jet 4 databases, but it appears as if you may need to
include MDAC_TYP.EXE to your setup package:

The fact that you have VB6 with SP4 on your development machine means that you have Jet 4 on this
PC:

To add to Tom's posting MDBs are updated using Jet. You have to
ensure you distribute the Jet (or ADO) DLLs with your app.

Access uses the Jet DLLs to update the MDB in the same way you use VB
to insert/update records.
