Well, I understand the term DAO better than dbEngine. In
most cases, I just skip the dbEngine "initialization" and directly set
the database variable.

dbEngine is a representation of the database engine used by DAO,
in this case Jet, although you can can also access other database
types like ISAM and ODBC dbs through their drivers. (In other
words, you can access an MDB db or SQL Server.). The
dbEngine object is the top point of the DAO object model.

Use google with the search phrase

dao dbengine
"dbengine object"

Check out some of the hits.

Good luck,
Saga
