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://support.microsoft.com/support/a.asp?M=S

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:

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:
