tryint to load create Automation Controller from ADO 2.6

[Woolie Willie]

I have loaded ADO 2.6 from the MS web site. But when I try to create an Automation controller with it, I don't see it on the menu of choices. I do see the ActiveX Data Objects 2.1 Library, and also the 2.0 library. How can I create this automation controller?

If it is not showing up in the list of ActiveX Automation Servers, my guess is that it did not get properly registered. This list is compiled by the OS and it includes all registered ActiveX Automation Servers.

When you downloaded this Automation Server, did it come with any instructions for installing and then registering it? If not, you can probably find it on MS's webiste. Make sure you've done this first. You can also check the installation if you have Visual Basic and try to create an Automation Controller with that. It will also provide the list of ActiveX Automation Servers.

Another possibility is that you may have downloaded an ActiveX Control. In that case, it would not show up in the same list, but instead show up with controls like CW3DGraph. Let
us know what you find out.
