[AccessD] Creating an ADO Data Provider

Hi Marty

That's right - but wouldn't you have to use the ODBC driver anyway?

Of course, using the ODBC driver directly you'll have to deal with connections strings etc. Creating an ADO Data Provider you hide the connection details away.

Just a guess but you might want to do this for example with SAP DB or 
it's other incarnation from MySQL MaxDB
since I don't think anyone has written an OLEDB provider yet. Otherwise 
you have to use an ODBC driver.
