Distrubute ADO

[Crister]

Hi. I cannot get my database program based on ADO to function on another machine running on Win98. What DLLs and other files besides my access DB file and .exe file do I need?

Thanks, Crister

Visual BASIC comes with a file MDAC_TYP.EXE that contains a redistributable version of the Microsoft Data Access Components (which contains all client-side ADO stuff).
You can also download that file (depending on the platform) from the MS site (download section).

Ok, I will check that out... But why does it work on my own machine?

because you probably have the ADO SDK installed.

Get the LATEST version of mdac_typ.exe from MS/data download. Even the one in the sdk update is incomplete. The most recent one downloaded separately worked for me.

Hi.
I still don't get it to work! Now I have installed the complete MDAC SDK on the second machine, but the problem still remains.
What can I do next?

Desc. of the situation.

I have a small little .exe using MFC ADO.
I'm working with an MS Access file "test.mdb".
I thought the built-in Jet DB was suppose to manage to operate without any extra files?
I use NT4 and VC6 that works without problem.
If I use with another machine, it just results in an error when trying to open the .mdb file.

Hmmm....
