Hi,

This is nightmare!

The code for determining the ADO version installed on
the system, which worked for years suddenly stopped
working on my machine. In fact all my EXE's that have
that code included stoped working with Error message:

"Could not convert variant of type (OleStr) into type (Double)"

When I start the EXE from the IDE, the program stopped
at line I marked:

double GetADOVersion()
{
   CoInitialize( NULL );
   double Result = 0.0;
   try
   {
      Variant Ado;
      Ado = CreateOleObject( "ADODB.Connection" );
      Result = Ado.OlePropertyGet ( "Version" );  // <--- HERE
      Ado.Clear();
   }
   __finally
   {
      CoUninitialize();
   }
   return( Result );
}

Commenting this code with returning fake true result made the program
working again...

What have I messed? Something with Borland's DLL/BPL or is something
in the system?
