With different versions of MDAC available it is sometimes
useful to know that your application won't fail because a user
hasn't got the latest version installed.
The following function returns the ADO version installed,
you need to place ComObj in the uses clause to use this function.
}
function GetADOVersion: Double; var ADO: OLEVariant; begin
try ADO := CreateOLEObject('adodb.connection');
Result := StrToFloat(ADO.Version);
ADO := Null; except Result := 0.0; end; end;
// To use this function try something like:
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject); const ADOVersionNeeded = 2.5; begin
if GetADOVersion then ShowMessage('Need to install MDAC version 2.7') else ShowMessage(Format('ADO Version %n, is OK', [GetADOVersion])); end;
