Microsoft Access
Interfacing to Microsoft Access using the WPS Engine for DB Files also requires a Microsoft ACE library to be installed. The ACE library is only available from Microsoft. The WPS Engine for OLEDB provides an alternative option to interfacing with Microsoft Access but still requires the Microsoft ACE Library to be installed.
Microsoft Excel
Interfacing to Microsoft Excel spreadsheets is best achieved using the alternative WPS Engine for XLSX. Unlike the WPS Engine for DB Files, the WPS Engine for XLSX does not require any additional Microsoft libraries to be installed and works across all supported WPS platforms, not just Windows.
Dependencies and Usage
The Access and Excel parts of the WPS Engine for DB Files can only be used on the Windows platform.
