Office 2007 should not require a separate database engine installation. Version 2010 is recommended for Access 20, version 2016 - for Access 2016, 2019 and Office 365 (however AccdbMerge does not use any specific 2016 features, so 2010 works for these Access versions as well).
However for older office version you may still need to install DBE. Starting from version 1.18.0 AccdbMerge msi contains both x32 and 圆4 executables so you just need to run exe that corresponds to your Office x32/圆4 version. So if you have fresh Office 365 or 2019 - there is a very big chance that you don't need to install DBE. Microsoft's recommendation for such case is to install Microsoft Access Database Engine redistributable.įortunately, in 2hd half of 2020 they took DB engine 'out of the bubble': Breaking ACE Out Of The Bubble. However there it has some disadvantages, one of them is that database engine installed with Office is available only for Office components and not available for external applications like AccdbMerge.
