Default ADO vs ODBC question

Hi.. I'm creating a Spreadsheet that will reside in a Shared Folder on
a Server 2k3 machine.

Users will open up the spreadsheet from the shared folder on their
local machine.

Am I correct that if I use a ADO connection, they will need the driver
(Firebird DB, Interbase driver) on their machine?

However, if I use a ODBC connection that is setup on the server, then
they will not need the drivers on their machine?

thanks
David
