 * ActiveX Data Objects (ADO), version 1.0

SUMMARY
The ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) QFE includes redistributable files for ADO 1.1 and the OLE DB provider for ODBC, version 1.1. The QFE also provides a registry update so that ADO 1.1 and future versions of ADO can co-exist, and improved handling of DBCS data by the GetChunk method.

MORE INFORMATION
You should use this version of ADO 1.1 and Setup for redistributing ADO 1.0- enabled applications.

If you use the Microsoft Visual Basic Setup Wizard, you will need the Adoregex.dll file. This DLL invokes the ADO redistribution setup (provided in the download) from within a distribution package created with the Visual Basic Application Setup Wizard. For more information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

ODBC 3.0 files are included in Office 97 and Visual Studio 97 and are available from the following site:
