You distribute the latest MDAC setup with the app. It should work for NT 4.0, 95, 98, and ME (2000 has OLE DB built-in). If the machine is incompatible with the latest MDAC, then odds are pretty good it's incompatible with any VFP app.
>Also, what if I can't assume the client has ADO or is even running a machine that is capable or using ADO?
