In Visual Basic, the ado control will automatically set the database and
generate the connection string. Can the ado control in C++ Builder do this,
or is all in code?

Building the connection string is actually an ADO function call you can
make yourself,  or you can use the C++Builder IDE to do that for you.

When I use ADO to connect to MS-Access 2000 MDB files,  I let the IDE/ADO
build my connection string for me.

Remember,  to get the ADO components in C++Builder,  you need to buy the
Enterprise Edition compiler,  or buy the Professional,  then buy the ADO
"add-on" separately...

From ADO components take ADOConnection on the form
You have ConnectionString property for that and when you dblclick or click
on (...) in the prop. value field you'll have
the same dialog as in VB for the connection string
