SUMMARY
This article presents information that can be useful to anyone wanting to take advantage of the ActiveX Data Objects within Visual C++ version 5.0. The following topics are covered:


 * Implementations of ADO within Visual C++
 * How to find ADO Knowledge Base Articles
 * ADO Resources/Points of Information

Implementations of ADO within Visual C++
Any of the three methods can be used to get at the ADO typelib within Visual C++:
 * #import
 * MFC-OLE derived classes
 * OLE SDK

Of the three methods, #import offers the easiest (meaning the least amount of code) method of getting at and manipulating ADO objects.

How to Find ADO Knowledge Base Articles
ADO is not a technology that ships with one particular product, and is not treated as its own product. To find ADO KB articles on the Web, connect to the following URL: "http://support.microsoft.com/support" and then click "ActiveX Data Objects" as the Product.

For the MSDN or other non-Web-based KB search mechanisms, you can search on the keyword that is contained in all ADO articles.

ADO Resources/Points of Information
ADO originally shipped with the OLE-DB SDK, so you should hit both the OLE-DB Web page as well as the ADO Web sites listed below: "http://www.microsoft.com/data/ado/http://www.microsoft.com/data/oledb/"
