According to the National Resource Center on AD|HD, there is no difference. The term was changed in the DSM in 1994 from ADD to AD|HD based on advances in research. See this Frequently Asked Question:
My child has ADD, not AD/HD! Do you have any information on ADD? http://www.help4adhd.org/faq.cfm?fid=23&varLang=en

Further information is available in this article.

It is now recognized that ADHD is the general disorder which encompasses three sub-categories/sub-types. The sub-type of ADHD-Inattentive type is what has often been referred to in the past as ADD. This term is sometimes useful to use in talking to laypeople when an individual with ADHD does not have the hyperactive diagnosis, however incorrect the designation may be.
