ActiveX Data Objects (ADO):

ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) was designed by Microsoft to be a high-level interface for data objects. ADO can be used to access all sorts of different types of data, including Web pages, spreadsheets, and other types of documents. Within ASP, ADO is most commonly used in conjunction with ODBC drivers to connect to databases and other data sources available through ODBC drivers. Chili!Soft ASP includes its own implementation of ADO that supports all of the commonly used functionality found in Microsoft ADO 2.0 and some of the popular functionality found in Microsoft ADO 2.5.
