So far I used some DAO components to access mdb files. First problems
appeared when some users tried to run my program on a WINDOWS PC with a
different version of MS Office.

I somehow heard that ADO is already part of MS WINDOWS, i.e. my application
would even run without MS Office. Is this true or is it always necessary for
users to install some packages (and the right version) of ADO to be able to
run my program ?

I am looking for the user-friendliest and most version independent solution.
Could someone give me an advice (BDE, DAO, ADO etc.) ?

Thanks
Uwe
