IS MS ACCESS DRIVER INSTALLED.

[blueprint]

Hi

I have written a VisualC++ programme that uses MS Access 97 as its storage of data. I have an exe file for loading the dao driver for MS A97 but would like some advice on how to determine if this driver is already installed. Any help will be appreciated.

The best way is to check the registry for an entry of the data access object/ odbc driver.
I guess you know the VC++ function calls for this. If you need to know how exactly the presence of the driver/dao is to be checked, please let me know.
