MS Access and connection string!!!

[vbkris]

i want to connect to Ms Access using connection string, i DO NOT want to USE ADODB.

is there any inbuilt functions that allow me to connect?

another question:
how safe is it to use ADODB, my doubts are caused by the fact that COM can be used only if the DLL is registered in the srever where php is run. can i assume that where access is installed there will be ADODB?

If You talking about Windows environment (should be - MSAccess), then define odbc connection in windows and use odbc statements in PHP (odbc_...).

nope neither is odbc a good solution cause it restricts distribution of the product( i have to set up the odbc in the client system as well). i did come across a project (

http://www.phpproject.com),

it connects to access, but i could not locate how he has connected it. this gives rise to two questions:
1. my previous question.
2. is ADODB distributed along with Access, if yes it remove one hell of a load from my mind.
