There's an article at

[url]http://www.interspace.net/aspcdo.html[/url]

That describes including CDO and ADO constants using a technique I haven't seen:

<!--METADATA TYPE="typelib" UUID="CD000000-8B95-11D1-82DB-00C04FB1625D" NAME="CDO for Windows Library" -->

<!--METADATA TYPE="typelib" UUID="00000205-0000-0010-8000-00AA006D2EA4" NAME="ADODB Type Library" -->

<!--METADATA TYPE="TypeLib" FILE="C:\WINNT\system32\cdosys.dll" -->


I've been including ado.inc using <!--#include file="ado.inc" -->

Is using one of the approaches above a better solution? Faster maybe?

It saves you the hassle of having to include the include file and I think it improves performance when instantiating objects. One downside is that you get all of the type library loaded, when you may not need all of the items. I just created my own short version of the ADO include file that's about 85% smaller than the original. It may or may not matter, but I know it's taking up less memory than the entire type library would.
