If you have a version of the Microsoft JET engine (included with Microsoft Access and FoxPro) installed on your system you can use the BDE to open or create Microsoft Access tables using the MSACCESS driver. In the BDE API, use the constant szMSACCESS when creating Access tables or checking the table type. See Logical types and driver-specific physical types for a table listing the new physical data types for MSACCESS and their BDE logical equivalents:

Two drivers are available: driver IDDAO32.DLL for Access 95 and Jet Engine 3.0, and driver IDDA3532.DLL for Access 97 and Jet Engine 3.5. Use the BDE Administrator (BDEADMIN.EXE) to specify which Access driver to use. The default is IDDA3532.DLL.
