Just out of curiousity - are you planning on using this as part of a logon script - or as this some kind of user admin tool ?

In terms of "the catch" the workstations that don't have MSAccess97 installed - check their registry for the following keys...

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DAO.DBEngine.35
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DAO.DBEngine.36

Let me know if you find one of them -

As well, MSOffice97 can lay these down if told to do so during the initial install.
