Forgive me guys... This is an elementary question and I should know the
answer but I'm feeling rather dyslexic after hunting all over Microsoft's
website looking for ADO download and as they say in Iowa.. I'm cornfused.

Is MDAC version 2.8 the product I need to install on customer's machine in
order to implement a server app I built for them that accesses an Access
database using ADO?

After reading all the terms Microsoft has invented, I usually walk away more
confused than I was before reading. Does anyone else have this problem? I
think this is a conspiracy heh heh :)
