is it possible to access an access database without ms office or just using references or .dll

Sure, you can use OldDBConnection class. Check here for details.

what i mean is no ms office installed on the pc...is it possible

Certainly. I've done it from time to time. You just have to use the correct connection string (see here.) I do not have MS Access installed.

ah ok...now i get it...
all i need now is to test it


tnx

So does it work? Tell us what you have found.
