ASP Constants

[Jack]

Hi,

In order to create an ADO connection and gets it running, I have to declare
the ADO constants as :

"<!-- METADATA TYPE = "Typelib" File = "C:\Program Files\Fichiers
communs\System\ADO\MSADO15.DLL" -->"

What bothers me is that I don't like the hardcoded path. Is there a better
and more generic way?

Thanks,

Jack

You could just define the constants that you need and throw them in the same
include that has your connection string and everything, or you can just use
the actual values instead of named constants. (Don't start, Barrows!)

The path is not needed. See [url]http://www.aspfaq.com/show.asp?id=2112[/url]

You either need the UUID, or you need the path if you want to include the
TypeLibrary

Or you can define the constants manually

Or you can include the adovbs.inc file (however, this is kinda large - you
might want to trim out the constants you don't need/want, and save as your
own custom constants file)
