    In looking through programs listed in Add/Remove Programs, I see Microsoft Date Access Component KB870669. I don't have MS Access installed, do I need this component? If I remove it will any other MS programs be messed up?

    It is a security update to help prevent others from accessing your data. It's not related to MS Access the program.

    More commonly called MDAC (pronounced Em Dak). If you have it installed (probable) and want more information, C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\ADO\MDACReadMe.txt should help.
