i'm just about to write a viusaul basic application that is the front end of a database. i've never done anything like this before. i was looking on the net and there seems to be two different ways of making these databases.

either using dao or ado. could anyone tell me which is more advanced and which is the most efficient.

thanks

Hi Adz,


Probably ADO would be the best, though it is a preference thing. However, ADO is the new standard and is used in various programming environments where DAO is not (correct me if I'm wrong, experts).

(Personally I prefer DAO!).

Absolutely ADO. DAO is an old method that was superceded by RDO which was subsequently superceded again by ADO.

Should you find yourself venturing down the .NET pathway it only supports ADO so it may help for any future development if you adopt ADO now.

It is faster and simpler to code as well.
