Hi,
I am somewhat confused regarding defining ADO connections. I am moving an
app from BDE to ADO. With BDE I do not have to code server and database
information in the app. I could use BDE Administrator or and ODBC data
source.

I have started to understand ADO components but is there a way to define the
database connection outside of the application similar to the BDE admin
tool. Do I use the ODBC management tool and define ODBC data sources?

Is there an ADO Administration Tool that comes with Windows (and what
versions).

Thanks
Sam
