I created an Excel spreadsheet that connects to an Access Database using ADO. The connection works fine on my machinge because I have ADO dlls. However, on my end user machine they don't.
How do I install ADO connection on there machine. I tried copying my ADO dlls to there system but it did not work.
I ALREADY WENT TO THE MICROSOFT SITE TO DOWNLOAD THE ADO. But I don't know which one to download.
Please direct me in the right direction.
how did you set up the ado connection, i need to do something like this on my app.
Also the latest ado is 2.1
Correction, the latest ADO version is 2.5
In order for the user to be up to date with ADO, you will need to install the most recent MDAC (Microsoft Data Access Components)
Scott!
Here is the code to connect to Access Database. You do it similar like visual basic 6.0. Remember to go to the "REFERNCE" menu and check on Microsoft ActiveX Data Object 2.0.
