Reports, ADO vs DAO, Data Env and the meaning of life...

[Michael]

This is a 3-part question.

1) Although I know that it is "morally" wrong to mix ADO and DAO within the same project, is there any practical reason why I shouldn't?

2) Is the DataReport Designer designed to run under ADO, or will it be happy under DAO?

3) I read somewhere that if you use the ADO Data Environment then "you are asking for trouble". Can anyone tell me (a) is it true and not just a personal opinion? and (b) if it is true then why?

(Personal note to Bashfirst: Thanks for your suggestion. I didn't actually get around to trying it because I just discovered "PrintForm" which solved my problem perfectly! I didn't want you to think I was ignoring you!)

Addendum: The "somewhere" in (3) was nrj's reply to Etoscha's question!!!

1) Ive been forced to do so for a large project for some month now and have had no promblems so far

2) DataReport only works with ADO (as far as I know) (see my posting 'Problem with DataEnvironment')

3) IT IS TRUE (see my posting 'Problem with DataEnvironment')

Thanks for your comments, Etoscha.

Could you (or anyone!) elaborate a little more on why we are in for trouble with the Data Env? From what I have seen of it, it appears to be a useful way of keeping everything together.
