Hi all

My company bought a code that is written in C/C++ using Eclipse

the code uses Access to save data on the client machine

the code references the headr above JetOLEDB.h ; I know this is realated to the Access Ole db and how to communicate with access; but my development station does not have such library or header and after searching the internet for a long time i found out that i should have it when installing office or the MDAC tool

i have both the MDAC and office 2010 installed on my machine but still no luck

does anyone know where i can download or find the library that contains this header?

my environment is

windows 7

VS2012

office 2010

ie. 9

intel i7 with lots of memory and disk space

The file seems to be no longer contained in newer Visual Studio versions. With VS 2003, it is located in the VC7\include directory.

You should check which interfaces/functions defined in the header file are used by your application and try to replace them. I guess it is IJetCompact::Compact. If so, you can use ADO (see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/230501).
