[AccessD] Set references via automation

Is it not best to set an object equal to Codedb and then use the
OpenRecordset property (or method, I continually mix those) of the object
rather than based on CodeDb directly?

That seems to be a safety rule for CurrentDB and I would expect the two
classes to behave similarly?

Or not. Not really even sure what I am talking about.

NICE FUNCTIONS THOUGH!

HYAPPEY NIEW YEAH!
