Where can I download ADO?

[pcawdron]

Does anyone know where I can get a copy of ADO from?

I've heard it comes with VB6 Enterprise edition, but I only have the regular VB6 version. Does Microsoft make it available outside of the enterprise edition?

Thanks

Peter

ADO comes with any of the Developer enviroments, so you have it, you just dont know how to use it, look in the FAQ for an example.

oh the FAQ you'll be looking for is

How to connection, change, and retrieve from an Access Database using ADO (works with other ODBC supported DBs as well)

In case you are interested in a reply you can actually use, you can get MDAC 2.5 or earlier versions, which contain the ADO components at:

Opps! I meant RDO not ADO.

Does anyone know where I can get RDO from?

Please forgive my ignorance with all this. I would simply like to use RDO to access the tables and columns of an AS400.

I've got a copy of the Microsoft article HOW TO: Use ODBC API SQLTables Function with Visual Basic and RDO, but I can't get it to work. The problem seems to be something fundamental as I can't get any of the RDO classes and objects to fire at all, even in the debug window. Yes, I've added it as a reference to the project, I can see all the RDO members, but I keep getting the error "ActiveX component can't create object or return reference to this object (Error 429)"

I've also tried running regsvr32 MSRDO20.dll and it registers successfully

What line of code does the error occur on?
