Sorry to be such a pain

[Brent White]

I am building an ASP.NET form called default.aspx on an intranet
server. It worked fine until I added a reference to ADO under the COM
tab.

When I did, I get this error referencing the web.config file in the
application directory:

Server Error in '/testing2' Application.

I need the ADO to fill a combo box on the form.

Can you use ADO.NET instead of ADO?
Just reference the System.Data namespace in your project and you're off
to a better start I think.

Why on earth would you want to use ADO/COM in ASP.NET?????

I'm a long-standing VB6 Programmer, so I know ADO very well. I don't
know ASP.NET very well, but I'm learning.

Let me try the system.data thing and see how that works.

I have tried that and was glad to know I could use the familiar ADODB
commands as I had before.

That seemed to work. I want to use .NET but it's had a learning curve
to it.
