ADO - Connection.Version

Sometime around ADO 2.8 something happened - some of the web programs around the office broke. To be precise the web pages which downloaded ado record sets to the client computer started getting popup error messages. I started doing some checking around and found different versions of ADO on different computers.

Here’s the code

<script>
// this will get the version of ADO installed on the client computer.
var aCN = new ActiveXObject("ADODB.Connection"); 
document.write ("ADO=" + aCN.version + ""); 
</script>
 
<%
' ASP - tells you the version of ADO on the web server
dim cnnDC 
set cnnDC =CreateObject("ADODB.Connection"); 
 
response.write "VB Script=" & ScriptEngineMajorVersion() _ & "." _
    & ScriptEngineMinorVersion() _ & "." & ScriptEngineBuildVersion() & "" 
response.write "ADO=" & cnnDC.version & "" 
%>
