Don't matter. You can use OLE DB Provider for ODBC. Effectively you
piggy-back off the Notes ODBC driver. In that way ADO can be used.

But this provider is no longer distributed with MDAC.

    ... OLE DB is the method that Word 2002/2003 use by default - in fact, given the code you are using, I am pretty sure that when your Access code opens the word document in Word 2002/2003, Word will be using OLE DB rather than DDE to open the data source. ...
