[RESOLVED] Data Environment

[Krizaaa]

Hi,

I want to know if using Data Environment is better than doing this

Dim cn as ADODB.Connection
Dim rs as ADODB.Recordset

is it professional to use DataEnvironment?

Thanks guys

I take it your programming in VB ?

From what i remember about Data Environments they can be a little unstable, i have only used 1 once but didn't seem to be as fast either as managing the connection yourself.

I would always choose to program the database connection and data retrieval myself as you have much more control, i would have thought that most decent programmers would.

I agree with NeedSomeAnswers, and many others who help in this forum do too.


I'd recommend reading the article Why is using bound controls a bad thing? from our Database Development FAQs/Tutorials (at the top of this forum), as the reasons it gives apply to the Data Environment (even tho it doesn't specifically mention DE, but data controls).
