>Is there a way to install only the ODBC drivers on a computer that does not have Access 97 installed? I've created an application that accesses a database created in Access 97 so I need this ODBC driver.

Several ways. You could download the MDAC (the latest version of the ODBC driver set) from Microsoft's Web site (try http://msdn.microsoft.com/developer/downloads/default.htm and go from there) and install that. Your application might also have the option to install ODBC as a part of its native installation (for example, the VFP Setup Wizard gives the option of including ODBC components when building a distribution disk set.)
