It's pretty easy: you don't need Access installed, just the appropriate JET or ACE assemblies installed on the computer.
Similarly, You don't need SQL server installed - but you do need the SQL assemblies and to have the instance of SQL server that holds your DB accessible from the PC that needs the DB. (That could be on the local network, or even via the internet).

In either case, the appropriate assemblies should be included by your apps installation program and registered for you.

The SQL you already have - they are part of .NET

thank you sir, but what about access?

OriginalGriff 8-Feb-14 6:29am

Did you follow the link?

agent_kruger 8-Feb-14 7:26am

sorry sir, about SQL?

OriginalGriff 8-Feb-14 7:36am

No, the link is to Access redistributables.
The SQL ones you already have - they are part of .NET as standard.
