Jet drivers used to be installed with Windows until the recent Windows editions. You can download ACE drivers for free ( http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13255 ) Here is an example of usage : How to read/write dBase III files using C#/.NET ODBC or OLE?

  • However, to install Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable, Office has to be installed. Right? – xpolac Sep 09 '12 at 11:35

    Why do you think that? You can just install the engine. You can even install a runtime version of MS Access free of charge. – Fionnuala Sep 09 '12 at 18:48
  • You right, it can be installed without Office. This solved my problem. Thank you. – xpolac Sep 10 '12 at 06:14
