Not only that, but ADO 1.0 was released sometime last year, after VFP 5.0 was released, so even if there was a desire to include documentation on ADO in VFP 5.0, the timing prevented that. FWIW, VB 5.0 doesn't have any inherent ADO documentation, either, and it was released almost at the same time as ADO.
