Quickie: Can I access MS SQL server through DAO?

[Paylo]

Hi!
I just wanted to ask is it possible to access MS SQL server through DAO (ie VB5). I know it can access ODBC but they never talk about how to access MS SQL. Also, can it be done through a data control? I know it's kind of limiting, but it's part of my program's architecture already.

Yes to both your questions. Just create an Access database that contains attached tables to SQL Server...


BTW, there is no reason you cannot use ADO and DAO in the same program...

[Paylo]

There is... if you are using VB5 :(
ADO I believe came out with Office 2000 and VB6?

ANyhow I'll try what you said today. thanx.

ADO was first made available in VB5. Just don't ask if it was usable...
