Hello  :(

Unfortunately, I am having a problem installing the correct MS Access
driver using Install Shield.

PROBLEM:
Even though the DAO 3.5 is installed on the target machine, when my
application is installed with the BDE (using Install shield), MS ACCESS
always selects the IDDAO32.DLL driver, in preference to IDDA3225.DLL.

How can I change the Default driver??

SOLUTION:

I can manually use the BDE administrator to change the MS ACCESS driver
- and the application then works fine. Obviously this is not adequate
for an installation.


I am not sure where the problem is:
1) The DAO set-up ? But when selected the driver does work
2) The Install Shield installation ?
3) The registry or BDE config files ?


I would be very grateful if anybody could shed light on this problem,
maybe just point me in the right direction..
