Bill,
The second part's easy - once you know the filename. Just use VFP's agetfileversion(). e.g.
=AGETFILEVERSION(aFiles,"c:\windows\system32\sqlsrv32.dll")
Then pick out the version in [4] (or [11]).

If you can find the file name (I got it running the MDAC Component Checker - available at http://www.microsoft.com/data/), from the registry, then you'll have all you need!
