The current Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB version?

[Guest]

How do I go about finding the current Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB version? I don't
won't to hard code a specific version in my program, because my I want my
software to be version independant.

Thanks for your help!

The JET download is separate from the main MDAC. That is the latest OLEDB
provider for Jet (Access/Excel, etc.)

MDAC probably won't help you here since the Jet components are not installed as part of MDAC. What
you can probably do is look for the msjetoledb40.dll file to see if it's present. It would be
located in the Windows System32 directory.
