[AccessD] Bind Form to RecordSet

What the ...???

Maybe I am coming in too late on this thread to understand the import of this statement, which all are apparently taking as fact so I guess I may as well take it as fact too ... but ... I *never* would have thought that access forms could be bound only to adodb recordsets as opposed to DAO recordsets. I mean after all, ADO came along later in the Access lifecycle than DAO, correct? And weren't forms always able to be bound to recordsets?

I feel totally lost in this.

 Hi Arthur --

Access forms can be bound to ADODB recordsets only.
