    ADO 2.0, 2.1, 2.6, 2.7 - Whats the diff?

    Whats the difference between ADO 2.0, 2.1, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7 and all the other ones? I'm want to get my app running on a Win98 machine with no problems. v2.5 works fine with XP so far.

    If you check out the Micro$oft Data Access pages on their Web site, they specify the changes between versions.

    Basically, new technologies are added each version, XML recordset support in later ones, bug fixes, enhancements in performance etc.

    General rule of thumb, is use the version which comes with latest IE release, then code for that.

    If you use late binding to ADODB objects, you can use the latest version without recoding your references.
