Description Of Files Included in JetVC.exe

Jetoledb.h Header file containing the interface definitions for the IDBUserAttributes, IIdle, and IJetCompact Jet extended OLE DB interfaces.
Jetoledb.idl IDL file for the Jet OLE DB Provider 4.0 Jet extended interfaces.
Idlmulti.h A special header file referenced by Jetoledb.idl.
Jetoledb.lib Library file containing the IIDs for the extended Jet OLE DB interfaces. Use either the Intel or Alpha version of this library file depending upon your build environment.
Msjetoledb.h The main Jet OLE DB Provider 4.0 header file.

Directions for Use of Jet OLE DB Support Files in Visual C++

If you are using just the core OLE DB interfaces with the Jet Provider, you need to include only Msjetoledb.h in your project.

If you are using one or more of the Jet extended OLE DB interfaces (IDBUserAttributes, IIdle, or IJetCompact), you need to include Jetoledb.h as well as link your project with the appropriate Jetoledb.lib file (from either the Intel or Alpha folder).

If you want to use the Jetoledb.idl file with your project, you also need to include Idlmulti.h in your project. Also note that Jetoledb.idl references the Oledb.idl file installed by the Microsoft Data Access SDK 2.1. The Oledb.idl file is installed under the MDACSDK\unsupported\idl folder. Note that Oledb.idl also references other .idl files in the same folder, so for best results you should append the MDACSDK\unsupported\idl folder to your project include folders if you are using Jetoledb.idl.
