With adp all SQL processing is done on the server. You will eliminate huge
overhead of downloading all the data from all tables mentioned in a query
that match selection criteria (and often even that don't match the criteria
at all) and assembling the recordset on the client. Some folks may object on
this statement, saying that Jet engine performs some optimizations to the
queries before it sends the requests to the SQL server, but the key word
here is "some", which is better translated to "almost no".

On the other side conversion of a complex access database to an adp project
is not an easy process and sometimes partial conversion may be preferred.
You convert Access queues into SQL Server Views and stored procedures and
link your Access tables to the views and/or use pass-through queries to
access the data.
