I've developed a test application on my PC that uses the JET Engine. The
connection string is very basic and is constructed as follows:
connectionString = String.Format("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Da ta
Source='{0}'", modelName);
On the development PC, this works fine. On a test PC, I get a message:
The format of the initialisation string does not conform to
specification starting at index 33
Since the same string works on the development PC, I'm taking this to mean
that there are missing drivers on the target PC. I thought I could sort this
by installing MDAC 2.8, but when I went to the downloads site, it explicitly
says that JET and OLEDB aren't included.
What do I need to get installed to be able to open my database? Or am I
wrong and there is a format error?
Thanks
