    Lightbulb ActiveX Data Objects - Known Issue

    Just a bit of info you people may or may not be aware of:

    Recently I was suffering a problem when trying to distribute a database application I had developed.
    After suffering through ****loads of problems, I finally changed a program reference from ActiveX Data Objects 2.5 to version 2.0. And the problem went bye-byes.

    Anyone else meet this issue?

    Yes; ADO 2.5 is very buggy. Always use 2.1 or 2.0 (2.1 is preferred for its XML support)

    I had the same experience, many problems with 2.5, installed 2.6 and this works fine for me.

    I believe i got it at http://www.microsoft.com/data, the mdac 2.6 version.
    If it is not so, let me know. I ll check it tomorrow at work, where i downloaded and installed it a while ago.

    masking?

    Are you saying that my masking problems might be because I'm using ADO 2.5? I'm having problems with mask edit box

    I doubt ADO2.5 has any effect on Masked Edit Boxes....
