Referencing at design time

[Lisa Pearlson]

A general problem in VB I have not figured out is that you must REFERENCE
the COM objects at desing time. If you reference ADO versions older or newer
than the machine that will run your program, it won't work. I surely am
mistaken, because components get updated to newer versions all the time, and
if your software quits working every time a dll is updated, it would be
unusuable!

Always develop on a machine that has the oldest installation you will
need to support. Reference the oldest available DLL and don't be
version specific when you instantiate things. For example, if
instantiating something for DAO don't reference "DAO.36" or "DAO.35"
just use "DAO".
