Where is acedao.dll?

I want to know if Microsoft.Office.Interop.Access.Dao.dll version 12 is the same thing as acedao.dll. If not where can I find acedao.dll and add a reference to it in a C# WPF project?

Solution

  • I have no idea if the Interop dll is the same as acedao.dll.

    Visit 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components to download the dll as a separate component.

    Note though that Jet 4.0, msjet40.dll, is a Windows operating system component and Windows requires it. It is present in Windows 2000 through to Windows 7. Whereas the acedao.dll must be installed. Depending on your overall objective you may find that msjet40.dll works for you.
