[AccessD] ADO Command object

No. Let me restate this and see if I can do better.

I often see Command objects in the form

Dim cnn As ADODB.Connection
Dim cmd As ADODB.Command
Set cnn = New ADODB.Connection
cnn.Open connectionstring
Set cmd = New ADODB.Command
Set cmd.ActiveConnection = cnn

when

Dim strConn As String
Dim cmd As ADODB.command
strConn = connectionstring
Set cmd = New ADODB.command
With cmd
    .ActiveConnection = strConn
...
End With

will do -- I don't see the purpose of connecting the Command object via a
Connection object. I'm assuming that it's required for certain tasks, so
what would those tasks be? So far, I've not run into anything, but then, I'm
use to simple examples.
