[AccessD] Question on Reference (DAO)

Not necessarily.

You can't just replace DAO objects with ADO ones, as they have different
properties and methods and some just plain don't exist - e.g. there is no
ADODB.Database.  Quick example to open an ADO recordset from an Access
table:

' -----------------
' START CODE EXAMPLE
Dim conn as ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As New ADODB.Recordset
Dim strSQL As String

' grabs local Access database, similar to DAO.Database
Set conn = CurrentProject.Connection 

strSQL = "SELECT etc..."
rs.Open conn, strSQL, adOpenKeyset, adLockPessimistic
' -----------------
' END CODE EXAMPLE


When you set your references in your project (Tools > References), take a
look to see where the project is picking up the DLL's, TLB's etc. from.  For
example, the ADO files will come from c:\program files\common
files\system\ado more often than not.  Now bear in mind that your
application, when deployed, will go looking for these files in the same
place on the client machine.  IF they are not there you will get a fatal
error and your VBA will halt in its tracks.

So, where I already had:

Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset

I would put:

Dim db As ADODB.Database
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset

?????

It is working now, because I went into Tools/References and clicked on
the, "Microsoft DAO 3.6 Reference Library." I was just wondering if this
would follow through to the client PC.
