Re: VB6: Which ADO version to reference?

Install MDAC 2.8 on it. You can download it from
http://www.microsoft.com/data

Or as already suggested switch to ADO 2.5. However, what happens when you
decide you want to run this app on a 9x or NT4 machine? Those don't
natively come with 2.5, and NT4 and 95/98 don't natively come with any ADO
(although I seem to remember IE5 adds ADO2.0 which is a mess because the
DLLs aren't compatible with ADO 1.5 or ADO 2.1 and higher, as it was only
intended for use inside IE).

Hi,

I believe DSClient installs MDAC (version 2.5 if I recall) on Win9x and NT4
clients. I know NT4 with IE4 has no mdac. I can run programs using ADO on
Windows 95 machines if DSClient is installed.
