replacement for the ADO jet oledb provider

[JD]

Hi,

Does anybody know any database that has the following 3 characteristics?

1) allow ADO technology to programmatically access it
2) there is a free ADO provider
3) the provider is supported in 64-bit machines

I am upgrading a software product from 32 to 64 bit. The code uses the
jet oledb provider to access jet databases (mdb files). The jet oledb
provider has the 1st two characteristics above but unfortunately doesn't
support 64 bit.

Your help is much appreciated.

Tony

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=239114 specifically lists 64-bit (or, more
specifically, the security fix in
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms04-014.mspx lists it)
