Thanks for that tip.

However, when I load the activeds type library into my solution,
The symbols that I see in the ActiveDs namespace don't match
up with the code that this example shows.

According to the properties for the ActiveDs type library that I see,
it's version 1.0. Perhaps I have an older version than this example
assumes or something.

I've got Windows 2000 SP4, the .NET 1.1 framework,
and Visual Studio 2003.

I'll need to study more about ActiveDs to figure out what's up.

Unless anyone has any ideas....
