Windows Server 2003 comes with MDAC 2.8 SP1, with Win2k you might be using
anything from ADO 2.5 to 2.8. That would be the more likely culprit.

That didn't come out quite right. <g>

All MDACs support earlier versions of ADO, in as much as they supply
typelibs for each ADO version. However, each MDAC supply updates to earlier
versions, bug-fixes, OLE implementations, etc. and therefore are different
components. So while there is "backward-compatibility" - they are not
necessarily the same animals.

When looking for possible problems that is where you should look first. It
is always best to insure that both the compiler and client are on the same
page. <g>
