At the time of the last release of C++Builder,  I believe that ADO v2.1 was
the latest production release from Microsoft,  so it makes sense that this
would be the release shipped with and supported by C++Builder.

Since that time,  I think that there was an update to the ADO Express
components to fix something which broke when MS release their newer ADO
releases,  but I am not certain that any changes were made to the core
components to support new functionality which was added.  I would expect to
see that in the next release of C++Builder...

If you need to access the newer features of ADO,  you might try getting the
connection handle from the component and accessing it directly to get at
the information you need.  I have not done this myself,  but I would
suspect that you can accomplish this.
