[AccessD] Bind Form to RecordSet

Agreed. I use DAO for purely 'in house' stuff, that is within the same database (CurrentDB).  But when talking to the 'outside world' for anything from that database I use ADO instead.

Cheers
Darryl

Hi William:

I was using ADO for my MS Access databases since A97. Rarely, have I used anything else except when doing code for Mom and Pop type businesses. Access with a DAO BE can only expand so far. It only took me once or twice to realize that synchronized DAO connections in a network are prone to data corruption so I never made that mistake again.

Also every Microsoft OS since Windows 95 has one version or another of ADO built in to it. 

With ADO and the databases that are associated with that, MS SQL and Oracle and so on, you can stably extend an MS Access FE to thousands of users.

Jim

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.
