Win Service Pack 5 / 6 Problem

Hi,
I hope you can help me, this is really a strange problem. I have written a progamm that - among others - creates an ASCII-File that is imported by another Programm. That other programm only works with the Windows Service Pack 5, but not with 6 (??????). So on the client where my application is installed, Service Pack 5 is installed.
On my PC, where I developed the programme, everything runs well, but on the PC where it SHOULD work, several mistakes occur, among others the export-File is not correct.

So my question is: What ADO-Version is delivered with SP5 (if its 2.0, then the problems may be obvious), and are there other bugs on SP5 which may cause that?

with sp5 for Vstudio or Vb you will get ado 2.5; you can get ado 2.6 by downloading it from www.microsoft.com; sp5 is designed to run with ado 2.6. Microsoft said something I do not entirely understand about ado 2.6 and backward compatibility for sqlServer7, but it does not seems your case. If you install a servicepack, you may need to edit your project and re-referencing Ado with newest classes,/libraries
Hope this may help,

Sorry, we misunderstood, may be I wasn't exact: its not the service pack 5 / 6 for Visual Studio, that I meant, but the Service Pack 5 / 6 for Windows NT.

Wondering if you could post the code that does not work. We might be able to figure it out from there. Anyway, NT4.0 SP5 comes with MDAC 2.5 if I'm not mistaken. Not sure about SP6 though.
