Adding a reference gives you access to the Type Library for early binding,
essentially using ADO in code with no visible control.
If you want the control, right-click on the Controls Toolbox, select
Additional Controls and put a check mark against the desired component.

Having said that, I have always preferred the coded version to the data
control for flexibility.
