DCOM98 dilemma

[John_Lamb]

My application uses ADO. After creating the deployment package I got a message that I will need to include DCOM98 for my system to work properly on a Windows 95/98 machines. I am presuming that DCOM98 is a requirement for ADO to work, as I have not inclided any ocx references in my system.

This begs several questions

1)Does the DCOM98 suffice for both 95 and 98 OS

2)My system will also be installed on systems with NT workstation, so what happens in that situation

3) I could easily have used DAO for my method of data access. If I now change to this will I then be able to do without including DCOM98

response to any appreciated

Q #1)
No, DCom98 does not suffice for both win95/98. If you install on a 95 machine, you should use DCom95

Q #2)
All should work well on NT, (must have at least Internet Explorer 4.01 SP4 and NT4 SP5)

Q #3)
Not sure, I think you can do this, but I wouldn't if I were you. ADO is faster as DAO, and the program is already written using ADO, so I wouldn't touch that
