Does Office Xp Tablet edition contain MsAccess?

Does Office Xp Tablet edition contain MsAccess?
I need to develop some excel applications that connect to Access Databases
on the Tablet pc

"Access database" is a common, but inaccurate term. The database
capability which is exposed by MS Access, is actually provided, by
default, by a related product, MS Jet. So what you have, is not an
Access database. It is a Jet database. To access it, you do not need MS
Access. You need MS Jet, and a data-access technology that works with
Jet - eg. Data Access Objects (DAO).

There is no Office XP Tablet edition. Access comes with the Professional
and the Small Business Management 2006 editions.

There is however a Windows XP Tablet edition.

IOW, the answer is No. He won't get Access (which he doesn't need
anyway), in Office XP Tablet (which apparently doesn't exist to begin
with!)

Ok. , Does it contain the drivers ? That's all I need to know

 

[TC]

Does /what/ contain them? The other respondent has already said, that
there is no such thing as "Office XP Tablet Edition". So no-one knows
what you mean by that term.

And as I said, you probably need MS Jet, not MS Access. But MS Jet is
not a "driver", why are you using that term? Have you done any research
into MS Jet, what it is, and why you will need it?

Tablet pc.- This is the hardware.
Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 - software

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/tabletpc/evaluation/overviews/xp.mspx
It says "Because Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 is built on Windows XP
Professional, you can run Windows XP-compatible programs on it"


So.....
I have an application in Excel xp office edition. VBA CODE
I'am using DAO to connect to an Access Database.
Is it possible to connect to the same DAO Engine on a Tablet PC.

Basically , I want to use the Excel application on a Tablet pc.

Ok, then you'll need VBA, DAO, and MS Jet, on the pc. You'll need Jet
3.x if the database was created in Access 95 or 97, or Jet 4.x if it
was created in Access 2000, 2002 or 2003. Jet 4.x is up to SP8 (!), I
believe. You will not need Access itself.

I don't know whether you'd get all or any of that as standard, on a
Tablet pc - but them's what you need. Look for files named DAO*.dll and
MSJET*.dll, those are some of them.

If you don't have Jet & DAO, maybe you could get them through "MDAC".
You could certainly get them by installing Access - but that's a big
product, and you don't really need it - you just need Jet & DAO.
