Read only ADO connection still allows writing to database?

Question

I have connected to my SQL Server 2005 database by using ADO (through A set of ADO classes - version 2.20 by Carlos Antollini). Now I have set the connection mode to be ReadOnly

CADODatabase *pDatabase = NULL;
pDatabase = new CADODatabase();
pDatabase->SetConnectionString(MyConnectionString);
pDatabase->SetConnectionMode(CADODatabase::connectModeRead);
pDatabase->Open();

SetConnectMode() calls ADODB::Connection15::PutMode
and CADODatabase::connectModeRead is adModeRead.

Now my understanding is that setting the adModeRead mode should make the database connection read-only. But a simple test of the connection shows that I can use the connection to create and drop tables, as well as insert and update data.

How can I make the connection truely read-only?

You need to set the connection mode in connection string itself.

Please search on the google to find out how it is done.

I have same problem in my VB based application . I found the same solution using above technique.
