ADO Dataset component for Delphi 4

(hopefully for Delphi 5 Professional too)

Update: 6/9/1999

There is a quick update available for ADODSxxx.ZIP for Access users modified by Thomas Quester, there is a ConnectionString property added that makes setting up the connection properties a real pleasure. Unfortunately the method for fixing the Access problem now makes Appending to an SQL-type server impossible (error message: must have at least one column value set).

I thus include both versions of the component until either I or Thomas can figure out how to fix it.

Download adods.zip (version 0.9), works well with SQL type servers, but does not include the better ConnectionString property.

Download adods092.zip (version 0.92), works well with MS Access (via Jet) and includes the cool ConnectionString property. This version also has an extra TADODatabase component so that connections can be shared among Datasets.

Note: Both still got problems with DBgrid inserts.
