No, if you want Access it has to be installed.

Okay, thanks. I don't think (yet) that I can assume that.

If you want to pull in data from an Access database, I don't think you need
Access installed.
Have a look here for one example that *might* work for you (I'm by no means a
database wizard; trust your own senses, not mine <g>):

If you want to *automate* Access itself, then yes, it'd have to be there.

Thanks. Ironically, I was just there looking for something else. I was
pretty sure I could READ access data, since you can read an mdb file with
VB, frontpage, etc, even if you don't have access.
