OK, it's my mistake.  Now it works for me too.  I think what I was doing wrong
is running winetricks from ~/folder rather than ~/.wine-ole/drive_c/...  If I
had thought about it for half a second, I would have realised that that can't
work. I've deleted and re-worked the wine prefix.  MDAC must now be properly
installed and the program works for me too. Not only that small program, but my
much more extensive programs, and for ADOX as well as ADO.  So, thank for your
help.   Bug 5841  "ADO no worky" would seem to be solved, although there may
still be a problem with VB6 interfacing, but ADO is definitely 'worky'.
