I have included a reference to the Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.0
Library in my project (using ADO to connect to an Active Server Database).

Does anyone know what files I must register on the client machine (without
actually installing MDAC on the client) to allow my program to use ADO?

In my Project References, the file C:\Program Files\Common
Files\System\ADO\msado20.tlb displays as the relevant file.  Registering
this file only does not work.  I assume that there are others that are
required.

Thanks in advance.

You do need to install MDAC_TYP.EXE.  There is no other way to get all of
the necessary files installed on the client machine.  If the Package and
Deployment Wizard does not automatically pick this up, then you need to
select the latest version of ADO that is available under
Project->References.  Check out the following KB article:
