ODBC offers the maximum portability for applications. That's assuming you want to eventually port to other OSes (e.g. Linux or Mac). ADO ties you to Windows. Supposedly ADO is easier to use, but I've got ODBC wrappers that hide the ugly side of ODBC quite nicely so the difference (from my perspective) is one of portability, not performance or ease-of-use. Just a thought. -- Thomas Hruska CubicleSoft President Ph: 517-803-4197 Safe C++ Design Principles (First Edition) Learn how to write memory leak-free, secure, portable, and user-friendly software.
