[AccessD] ADO Command object

Maybe this is what you want, Susan? With a connection object you can do
things like this:

Debug.print CurrentProject.Connection.Properties("User ID")

Exactly Mark -- you can use a connection string or a connection object. The
latter requires more code, but the connection string, as Charlotte or Doris
pointed out (sorry, I can't remember which one of you said that), the
connection string can be a pain to work with. Other than that though, I can
really find no advantage to using a Connection object. I expected to find
some benefit, such as properties or methods available only via the Connect
object, because most of the code samples I see uses the Connection object,
but other than perspective, I can see no advantage. I'll keep digging around
a little, but so far, I've not really turned up anything.
