Hello,

I am using Office 2000+updates on Windows 2003+updates, and I had this
problem.

I created a user form in Excel VBE, and added the Microsoft ADO Data
Control, version 6.0 to the toolbox. When I attempt to add the control to the
form, I get a Visual Basic message that says the control can't be created
because it is not properly licensed. The control is maadodc.ocx.

I am trying to connect Excel to the SQL Server Data Engine. Do I need this
control, and if not, what can replace it? If I do need this control, how do I
get the control?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
