ADO File Locations
All required ADO components are installed as part of either a Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2000 server or client installation. You can develop ADO applications on either a client or a server.
ADO sample applications, which provide additional reference material for ADO application development, are included with SQL Server 2000. The ADO DLLs are installed automatically as part of SQL Server Setup in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\ADO directory.
