Is there a difference between using a connection string with SQLOLEDB.1 versus just SQLOLEDB? I want to make sure I am using the latest OLE DB drivers.

Thanks!

The only thing the .1 does is specify the precise version number. Normally you don't need this as (I'm pretty sure) any install of a new OLEDB version will either overwrite the old one, or will default the version-unspecified provider to point to the newest one. Unless you have problems, might as well leave the .1 out of the connection string.
