[AccessD] OLE DB being retired

I must be psychic.  That's four in a row where I made the right decision not to follow MS up a 
blind alley  <g>

I stayed with DAO instead of ADODB
I stayed away from ADPs
I stayed away from DAPs
I stayed with ODBC/Native Client instead of OLEDB

(actually 5 if you include .Net <g>)
