Which database method to choose ?

I manipulate an Access 2000 mdb file from my project.

The file has a fixed three columns and initially 5 rows (so 5 recordsets. Date may be added and deleted in time and the database can increase to contain about 500-600 and maybe 1000 records (over a couple of years)

Actually I am using ADO and Jet 4.0 but it seems that I do not need a particularly high permormance connection.

The downside is that I need to install MDAC_TYP.EXEwhile installing my exe to a computer and sometimes even DCOM98 installation may be required (for Win 95 and some Win 98 machines) MDAC_TYP.EXE is over 7 MB !!!!

I am having difficulty to decide which database handling technique is fit for me. Would you recommend a simpler method ?

Thank you

If you really must change then use DAO.
Deployment package will be smaller.
However note that MS has plans to phase out DAO in favour for ADO.


RDO is outdated and not really mentioned any more.
