Has this questions been resolved? Was the answer to simply install the ADO? I am curious because I am looking for a straightforward way of making a database driven application (Standalone calculator that can store user data) Primary target audience (65%) machine is Windows 98 and 2000, 30% on Windows XP and some on ME - some unsupported.

What would your recommendation be and if the ADO componant isn't there (as the XP audience is the prime demographic), and is there an alternate that can be packaged with the appropriate drivers (firebird perhaps). a wish of the client would be to have the option to install a single version and have the others act as a client, so if there was a DB and movie that anyone has done(with some source code... pretty please...) I would appreciate some comments.

Thanks in advance for the assistance!
