Redistributable MFC with ODBC

Environment: WinNT 4.0/ Win95/ MSVC 4.1
In my search for information on Redistribution of ODBC drivers, and setup
DLLS, I have crossed over to many documents that are not complete on the
exact files required to distribute. For an App writing in MFC, using the
CRecordSet bindings with the Access 7.0 drivers, WHAT files are supposed to
be redistributed?
Article Q129459 has a good start, however, deals more with ODBC of VC++ 2.0,
which has me believing some stuff may be out of date. The REDIST dir on the
VC++ CD holds most of the ODBC DLLs, however, since I am not using OLE in
this app, I shouldn't have to bulk up my install with useless drivers and
DLLs. The REDISTRB.WRI explains what each DLL is, however, I am unsure if
some DLL's have functionality required by my app.
Any suggestions, or articles numbers are appreciated.
PC'ing you,

There's a utility called DEPENDS that is included with the new Platform =
SDK from microsoft (see http://www.microosoft.com/platformsdk for more =
info about downloading the SDK. It will show you the static bindings to =
DLLs for your application.

DEPENDS or other utilities which allow you to review your application's =
implicitly linked DLLs are a good way to get started, but complex DLLs =
architectures like those used in ODBC and DAO load lots of DLLs =
explicitly using LoadLibrary. The easiest way to be absolutely sure you =
have all the DLLs you need is to install your application with its own =
setup application on clean installs of all of the platforms you support. =
A good setup tool will get you off to a good start by knowing which =
files are required by common components such as MFC and ODBC and making =
it easy to add and remove system files, but there is no substitute for =
the peace of mind this kind of testing provides.
