Hello,

I have the following problem on certain servers, when trying to access
ADO objects I get the following error message 'Object Reference not set
to an instance of an object', on certain servers ADODB.DLL is in the
GAC and on other servers its in the application folder. On certain
server it works when installed in the application folder, and on ther
servers it does not, if I install it in the GAC then it works, why does
this happen?

I've seen the following artcles
KB321688
KB810098

Please can some explain why it works on some servers when not installed
in the GAC.

Thanks,

That doesn't sound like an error related to the application being able to
find ADODB.dll. Maybe you should show the piece of code that the error is
happening in.

Is there a reason you are not using ADO.NET?
