You also don't need the XML provider to read the data into a recordset from an ADTG file.

" I used it exactly once. I had an app where I had to provide a this year/last year comparison. It suited me because it was NOT human readable. cheers Michael M Hi all With ADO you can save a recordset to a file, normally an XML file, but another format, Microsoft Advanced Data TableGram, exists: rst.Save "d:\temp\records.dat", adPersistADTG Where or why could this binary format be used? It creates file sizes about 1/3 of the XML file created if adPersistXML had been used. Is it just a proprietary format for storing and retrieval of data to/from a single external file? /gustav -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
