I have an Access 2000 that I've developed and distribute to multiple users
(in the 100's). Not all, but many are required to link to .dbf files on their
systems. In order to allow this, it is required that they install the BDE.
This becomes a hassle because we don't have direct control over this process.
Is there a way that I could detect whether or not the BDE is installed, and
if not alert them that before they continue with the program it must be
installed?
Could I query the windows registry? Force an error that would tell me the
BDE isn't installed? Or is it possible to tell Access to bypass the BDE and
use the ISAM through code?
Thanx for any help,
