I have to make my app support varchar(MAX) type and therefore have to stay with SQL 2000 ODBC. Therefore, I need to make sure not to use DATE type in the SQL 2008. Just wanted to clarify.

I do use CA but I thought that ADO will enable you to use new data type (e.g. DATE) but NOT varchar(MAX). Therefore, since I want the varchar(MAX) my only choice is 2000 ODBC.
