I want to write an application that uses a MS Access database. However when I
go to the Data Link Properties dialog box and click on the 'Provider' tab, I
do not see a provider for Microsoft Access.

How do I get a provider in this list so I can connect to Access DB's?

"Access DB", as many people call it, is really a combination of Jet database
and front end database application in one *.mdb file. In "Data Link
Properties" dialog box, looking for "Microsoft Jet 4.0 (3.51) OLE DB
Provider".
