Hello,
I'm a beginner VB 6.0 user, and I would like to know something about it. Is there any difference in coding (for the same purpose) between a database oriented VB projects using the Data Control and ADO? How much are the differences, if you plz could explain it briefly. Thank you. :icon_confused:

Jump to PostThe difference between these controls is that the first uses Data Access
Objects technology to connect to a database, the second uses ActiveX Data
Objects, which is a newer technololgy and generally regarded as better than
DAO.
Jump to PostHi, ADO uses similar properties and methods like DAO. It differs in some methods and properties. The way of open the database and Table are somewhat differ.
