Distributing with the ADO reference can be problematic because as you say, 
the entry point is different in respective versions, not even backwards 
compatible (IOW not compiled as binary compatible). I don't use it much 
myself but AIUI safer to develop with early binding, then before 
distributing adapt to late binding and remove the reference.

On which point, Håkan it might be worth adapting your project to late 
binding, then it'll probably pick up whatever ADO version is installed, even 
Garry's 2.5!  (assuming not using any methods only available in the later 
version)
