How to Find ADO Knowledge Base Articles
---------------------------------------

ADO is not a technology that ships with one particular product, and has
been treated as a product in its own right. To find ADO articles in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base (KB) on the Web, connect to

   http://www.microsoft.com/kb/default.asp

and then choose "ActiveX Data Objects" as the product.

For the MSDN or other non-Web-based KB search mechanisms, you can use the
keyword adobj, which all ADO articles contain. Other keywords that offer
greater granularity when searching are documented in the following article
in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

   TITLE     : HOWTO: Searching for ADO Articles by KBSubcategory

ADO Resources/Points of Information
-----------------------------------

ADO originally shipped with the OLE-DB Software Development Kit (SDK), so
you will want to visit both the OLE-DB Web page and the ADO Web site:

   http://www.microsoft.com/ado/
   http://www.microsoft.com/oledb/
