Do you want to manually check or programatically check?

You can find out by opening Explorer, going to

"%SystemDrive%\Program Files\Common Files\System\ado"

and right-clicking on MSADO15.DLL, click on properties and looking at
Version tab

The file version at the top tells you version of MDAC SP.

Compare that against here

Also see

for doing it programatically
