If MDAC is installed, it's version can be found from the Windows Registry;

TRegistry* Reg = new TRegistry() ;
String MDACVer ;
try
  {
  Reg->RootKey = HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE ;
  if (Reg->OpenKey("Software\\Microsoft\\DataAccess", false))
    MDACVer = Reg->ReadString("Version") ;
  }
__finally
  {
  delete Reg ;
  }
