But ADO is just an interface library - you can still access the
underlying database via ODBC while using ADO as your API. At a
technology level, it's really not significantly different from using
MFC. Of course, corporate policies don't always reflect
technological reality.

I thought ADO interfaces through OLE DB?

Yeah, it does. But OLE DB in turn can use ODBC to access the underlying
data. Bottom line is that you don't need anything but an ODBC driver for
your underlying data source no matter which data access technology you use.
