Inserting into Access on a machine that doesn't have Access Instal

G

Guest

Can you insert a record into an Access database using Asp.net or a visual
basic application that doesn't have Access installed on that machine. I know
that you would need Access to view what was inserted but will the command to
insert into the database complain if Access is not installed?

Thanks

You do not need MS Access to insert/update/view records in a Jet database
(*.mdb file), as long as you have apps/tools that uses Jet engine to access
data in *.mdb file, including your VB application, if you do it right.

I believe the Jet engine is installed with Office but the OS may install it.
If Office isn't installed and the OS doesn't install it, you will need to
install Jet but not Access.
