Someone else may go further in detail, although the nuts and bolts of what
you said is true.  The Jet Engine is the same Data Engine Access uses.
Access simplifies the DAO for you, In VB5 you get to program and talk it
yourself, Although there are some things that VB5 will automate for you.
But the view point from most is to write unbound DAO yourself.

        Could someone tell me what the Microsoft Jet Engine actually
is.  I have been reading the book "teach yourself Database Programming
with visual basic 5 in 21 days"  The book talks about the Jet Engine,
and the DAO.  
        Is this a correct statement of the jet, and DAO.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        The Microsoft Jet Engine is a library of object/code, And one
of the objects within the Jet Engine is the D.A.O. ( Which Contains
the DBEngine,Workspace objects etc.)
        You use the DAO  Portion (object) of the jet engine to create
.mdb databases, or manipulate them, or manipulate non access
databases.

        Could some Please tell me if I am correct with this
assumption..?  or give me a proper definition/explanation.

Thank You
