Here's the reason for that: OLE/DB is the native language for SQL
Server and Access 2000. If you use ODBC, the ODBC driver for those DBs
converts your ODBC calls to OLE/DB calls and sends them to the server.
So if you use OLE/DB, you're cutting out a layer of software completely.
You have to handle a few things by hand that ODBC would have handled for
you (dates and Booleans are the biggies that I'm aware of), but it's not
too big a deal.
Best regards,
Zac Bedell
