Testing ADO Connections

Note: The ADO and ADO.NET clients are currently available only in OpenAccess SDK 8.1. However, they are compatible with the OpenAccess SDK 9.0 server.

The ADO Client opens a Connection window when you perform either of the following actions:

• You request a connection to an ADO provider from within your data consumer, and your data consumer requests the ADO provider to prompt for missing connection parameters.
• You click Test Connect in an ADO provider setup dialog box to test the connection to a data source you have set up.
