FWIW, my test programs works OK on a W2K/SP1 box with no MS Office
installation, and on a W98SE box with MS Office 97 installed.
Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 allows me to write to a .mdb file created by MS
Access 97. 

I haven't updated the MDAC, and I'm not sure how I can tell what version
I'm using. I'm told that you can ship the latest MDAC with your
software, but I'd like to get some definitive advice on this before
risking a lawsuit from M$!

Going back a few steps...

Can the user query a whole string of .mdb files? If so, what's the best
way to get that to work?
