Version property example (VC++)

Applies to: Access 2013, Office 2013

This example uses the Version property of a Connection object to display the current ADO version. It also uses several dynamic properties to show:

• the current DBMS name and version.

• OLE DB version.

• provider name and version.

• ODBC version.

• ODBC driver name and version.
