You've hit the nail on the head.

I don't think that's correct. JRO is an ADO component (seehttp://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa189021.aspx) and David
knows more about JRO than most, including me and I'm an ADO advocate.


So David is an ADO user and advocate? Wonderful! I'm so pleased.

But I'm puzzled why one week ago he posted:

"I wouldn't use ADO at all. Ever."

Take another look at what I wrote.

When will you get it? ADO is dead. D-E-A-D DEAD. If DAO has problems

in
Vista and/or Acc 2007, it is once again a supported MS product so there

is
at least a chance that the problems will get fixed. What will happen if

ADO
has problems under Vista? Nothing, absolutely nothing, not now, not

ever.
Why? Because it's DEAD.


This is completely untrue.


Yep, right, whatever.

"ADO 6.0 is included in Windows Vista, as a part of the Windows Data
Access Components (Windows DAC) 6.0. ADO 6.0 is functionally
equivalent to ADO 2.8."

I'm sure Vista contains lots of stuff for backward compatibility that MS has
no intention of further developing.

I'm don't despute *that*. But you originally asked, "What will happen
if ADO has problems under Vista?" and I think the answer is likely,
"MSFT will fix it in ADO 6.0".

Please explain why you think MSFT would create an ADO 6.0 especially
for Vista if they weren't going to fix "problems under Vista" in it?

Like I said, for backward compatibility. What makes you think they WILL fix
problems? They seem to find it hard enough to fix problems in products they
like, let alone products that they have clearly consigned to the bulging
dustbin labelled "seemed like a good idea at the time".

Doesn't the existence of ADO 6.0 for (as you say) backward
compatibility prove MSFT's commitment to fixing ADO "problems under
Vista"? Otherwise, they would have just shipped MDAC 2.8, surely?
