Can you buy Excel without buying the entire Microsoft Office Suite?
I'm not sure if there are variations in the way microsoft sells products
in different countries so It may depend on where you bought Office and
from whom you bought Office.

Excel uses the libraries in Windows\system32 folder (DLL's) to do
perform this function and it really depends on the DLL's that are
installed on a PC if reading/writing to a database is possible.

Checking the libraries that excel uses to read/write to Access is in
the OFFICE folder and is called MSACC.OLB, and to perfrom ADO function
excel uses MSADOXX.dll (the XX depends on the verion office installd).
I would do a search on the Microsoft Office Folder for these files to
get the exact answer. It may depend also on the manufacturer of you PC
since different PC manuafactures install different variations of
microsoft procducts some may havve these installed an others may not.
It depends on the licensing agreements between the PC manufactures and
microsoft.
