Author Does Server Require MS Office to be installed

Does a FrontPage Server, running the latest version of FP Extension, require
MS Office to be installed on the machine. I am trying to read and write to an
MS Access db, and I get this error.

Database Results Error
Description: Class not registered
Number: -2147221164 (0x80040154)
Source: Provider

No, MS Office is not required. It could be that the data source provider is
not registered or something. Can you post more information about the error,
including perhaps a code sample. Specifically looking at the connection
string used to connect, as well as the Server.CreateObject statement being
used as that is the statement that throws this error, but not knowing which
control is being requested it's impossible to tell which one is not
registered.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the reply, here is my global.asp

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=VBScript RUNAT=Server>
Sub Application_OnStart
'==FrontPage Generated - startspan==
Dim FrontPage_UrlVars(1)
'--Project Data Connection
Application("Database1_ConnectionString") =
"DSN=Database1;DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}"
Application("Database1_ConnectionTimeout") = 15
Application("Database1_CommandTimeout") = 30
Application("Database1_CursorLocation") = 3
Application("Database1_RuntimeUserName") = ""
Application("Database1_RuntimePassword") = ""
'--
Application("FrontPage_UrlVars") = FrontPage_UrlVars
'==FrontPage Generated - endspan==
End Sub

Any the begining of the webpage code. NOTE: I am using the DBRW
<!--webbot bot="DatabaseRegionStart" startspan s-columnnames="AvgOfScore"

Does any of this help at all? I put the full error below.
