ADO (Active Data Objects) is how the millions of Visual Basic programmers hitch onto Microsoft's amazing "Universal Database Access" strategy. But power breeds complexity, and using ADO isn't trivial! This book is based on best-selling author Bill Vaughn's years of experience working with front-line data access developers and the development teams at Microsoft itself. Now, this Microsoft veteran translates his insights and collected wisdom of over a decade at Microsoft into working solutions for the common (and some not so common) data-related problems developers face every day. ADO Examples and Best Practices focuses on addressing data problems at the root - through better designs and better ADO coding practices. These suggestions often yield far better performance - both for the developer (who is able to write better code more quickly), and for the application (it runs faster with less resources).
