Funny thing, I just upgraded our Intranet server here to ADO 2.6 (from 2.5) today and the Intranet crapped out! Man, was my face red!

If you reference the ADO Type library in your global.asa file you have to be careful when you upgrade ADO, as the filenames can change. I guess I had to learn the hard way.

Found it....

Thanks for that - I discovered on the NT 4 server that the ADO version is 2.1 and with win2k it's 2.5, apparently there's a huge difference in these 2 versions.

Sorry, I don't know this information off hand. Service packs will attempt to update mdac if it needs to. To see what version you are currently running check out the properties/version of msdadc.dll.

A lot of different programs can update the mdac (IE, Office, Service packs) so it's hard to keep track.
