Program cannot access MDB file

Hello all,
I'm trying to run an airfoil and wing design program called profili.
It uses an MDB file, im assuming, to store all the airfoil data.
Upon startup I get the error message "impossible to open the database C:\......\profili.mdb.
Am I missing a Microsoft plugin/runtime/dll/other?
Cheers

Rob.

Probably. Try:

Code: Select all

winetricks jet40
winetricks mdac25

For more info see: http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks

You might want to try jet40 and mdac28 with winetricks.
