I've installed the ADO (see below for an interesting tale) and wine_gecko, but I now get the following error: RTG Bills (window title) Method '~' of object '~' failed [OK] (button) Clicking "OK" gets me to a database location selection dialogue window, which when I click "Save" provides me the following window: RTG Bills (window title) RTG Bills will exit. Start it again to use the database you selected. [OK] (button) Clicking "OK" and restarting simply sends me round in the same loop again. (BTW, this was the behaviour before I installed ADO and wine_gecko, but with the different initial "fail" dialogue box.) MS ADO INSTALL: I tried installing the ADO by following the "MDAC 2.8 SP1" links from this page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/aa937729.aspx The MDAC_TYP.EXE I ended up with (via a Windows box, it wouldn't let me download to other than a "Genuine bla bla") reports: FATAL SETUP ERROR (window title) This setup does not support installing on this operating system. [OK] (button) Any ideas how to go about installing ADO on WINE... Well, I've just answered that one for myself - the answer is to install the MDAC_TYP.EXE by following the "MDAC 2.8" links on the above page - perhaps M$ has got wise to people installing ADO on WINE with their SP1 release?...
