Manage MS-Access97 MDB files without having the full version of MS-Access installed

Hello all,

I am looking for a freeware application to enable me to manage
Microsoft Access database files (like MDB or MDE) without having the
full version of Microsoft Access installed.

Thanks for any help.

You can view mdb tables/ queries by using other office products like
Word.
You can connect by ODBC which is provided by windows.

in Word using ODBC and Field codes , set up database connection field
code
3 items needed to use connection:
DSN: data name source as displayed in ODBC Administration
UID: user id to db server
PWD: password for uid to db server

the code is in the following format where '\c' and '\s' switch are
required:
\c "DSN=mydsn_here;UID=login_here;PWD=pwd_here" \s "my_select or query
here"


if you like more info email me, I have a document with instructions and
sample.
