The MDAC installs drivers. It's your responcibility to create File DSN/User DSN or System DSN required to run your application.

>Right now I am confused. I thought that when I installed the mdac that the File DSN was filled in with the different drivers. I just installed my app on an NT PC that never had Access on it. I then ran mdac and rebooted and the File DSN was not filled and my program bombs trying to get to the Access table. I need a way to program adding to the File DSN or something! Any ideas?

>>>I am back trying to connect VFP to an Access database. I was creating the DNS-less connection with a view that I received from J. Chad Bourque. When I do an install on a PC that never had Access on it the connection failed. So, I decided to create a System DSN which I did but the view is giving me an error about the DriverID missing. Any ideas on how I can get this to work?

>>Do you have Access ODBC driver installed on that PC? If you don't than you should eaiser include it in your setup or inctall MDAC on those PC's.
