If you use a Ferrari maybe, however with a bicycle it is much slower.

What has ODBC to do with comparing DAO, ADO or ADONET?

There have been more discussions about this subject in this newsgroup where
Paul Clement was often in involved. (There are more regulars, however Paul
is in my mind equivalent for DAO).

In my opinion not any homemade software can be as advice to deal with
Access. because you never know if it is reliable for the given problem.

Which as well does not mean that I would ever advice to use DAO in any Net
environment.

Just my thought,
