Re: Which ADO version to reference?

Hi,

I agree, but would add:

If I code an app with a setup program, the setup will deploy whatever I
reference, so I reference the latest version available to me. If I code
something that will not have a setup (like a script), then I use the oldest
version that my program can use, so it can be used on the most clients.

If you just copy the exe to another client, then you need to reference a
version that will be available on all the clients you expect to use the exe.

Choose the highest that your clients will support. IIRC Windows 2000 gold
was ver 2.5
