Hi

I have a project which uses ADOMD (Version 2.8.0.0) as a reference. This
automatically includes the ADODB interop assemly as well as ADOMD.

When I build this project I am getting a warning message....

"Warning: The dependency 'Interop.ADODB, Version 2.7.0.0, Culture=neutral in
Project 'ITWOlapControls' cannot be copied to the run directory because it
would overwrite the reference 'Interop.ADODB, Version 2.8.0.0,
Culture=neutral'

Note: The reference to ADOMD 2.8 is the only reference associated with this
project.

The project will build in spite of the warning, however if the assembly
created is included as a reference in another project I get the conflicting
errors...

"Error: The dependency 'Interop.ADODB, Version 2.7.0.0, Culture=neutral in
Project 'ITWOlapControls' cannot be copied to the run directory because it
would overwrite the reference 'Interop.ADODB, Version 2.8.0.0,
Culture=neutral'

and

"Error: The dependency 'Interop.ADODB, Version 2.8.0.0, Culture=neutral in
Project 'ITWOlapControls' cannot be copied to the run directory because it
would overwrite the reference 'Interop.ADODB, Version 2.7.0.0,
Culture=neutral'

and the second project will not build.

Note: If I add the original reference as a 2.7 reference I get exactly the
same behaviour.

This is on a new PC that has been configured with windows XP + SP2, Visual
Studio .Net 2003 Enterprise, SQL Server + SP3a
