Re: Databases - DAO and ADO

Yep: I've just thrown a spanner in the works by saying there's another way
(all be it the hard way, but I like the total control it gives me)
Go on, shoot me down:-)


I do the same thing. Text files seem adequate for
moderate sized sets of data. I've also used custom
MSI files. The Windows Installer system provides
an easy-to-use set of tools for creating basic SQL
databases if the functionality doesn't need to be too
complex. And the needed support files are virtually
guaranteed to be on all systems. But that's also an
admittedly unconventional use of Windows Installer.
Maybe if I had experience with other types of databases
I'd have a different opinion.
