I read that it's possible to use ADO in VB, but I can't find any way
to include it as a component or reference in my project.  Anyone know
how to start coding ADO objects in VB 5 ?

Go to www.microsoft.com/data/oledb and download the ole db sdk.
Install the sdk. It you then open the references dialog in VB you will
find ADO. I'm using ADO in my current project, and it's working.

What technique are you using for binding controls to your ADO
Recordset objects?  I am using VB5 Pro and cannot seem to find a way
to bind to the normal data control--it only supports Jet/DAO and
ODBCDirect.  

I've heard something about a Remote Data Control that you're supposed
to use with RDO--but does that work for ADO.  

Or, regardless of the data access model, do you use some scheme or
technique that allows you to bypass traditional data bound controls?

Thanks in advance,

If you wish to reply to me via e-mail, remove the XX from the front of
my address.

Try including Reference Microsoft Ole Db Activex Data Objects 1.0 Library.
If you  cannot find it, then install
Oledbsdk off of Visual Studio 97 C++ diskette ( i know you are using vb),
or go to microsft web page and download
oledbsdk and finstall it.

This worked for me.

Good luck.
