What is the error number/source?

Do you have any errors before this line:
Set DataGrid1.DataSource = rs 'fails

Have you checked that the same versions of ADO are on both
computers?

I'm guessing that either the actual "open" of the recordset is
failing due to trying to use a connection that is not actually open
(probably because of an unavailable provider), or that the datagrid
is a different version.
