Add a reference to ado library to your project.

[Off the top of my head, haven't used VB6 for aaaaaaaages.]

Yep, that's right. Set a reference to Microsoft Activex Data Objects 2.7 \ 2.8?

Take a look at:

this

or

this1

Regarding your statement:
Public Con as New ADODB.Connection

If you're trying to define a new connection it should be:

Dim Con as New ADODB.Connection

BUT, if it's the start of a function, it should be

Public Function Con() As ADODB.Connection
etc
