How to Find ADO Knowledge Base Articles

ADO is not a technology that ships with one particular product, and has been treated as a product in its own right. To find ADO articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (KB) on the Web, connect to:

http://support.microsoft.com/support/a.asp?M=S

and choose "ActiveX Data Objects" as the product and enter your specific search topic.

You can also pick "All Microsoft Products" or use the MSDN or other non-Web-based Knowledge Base search mechanisms, and search for the keyword "kbado," which all ADO articles contain.

ADO Resources/Points of Information

ADO originally shipped with the OLE-DB Software Development Kit (SDK), but now is part of Microsoft Data Access Components or MDAC. To learn more about it, please visit the Microsoft Universal Data Access Web site:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/dataaccess

or the ADO-specific Web page at:
