Bound or Unbound connections

[Smithrr]

I am using ADO to develop applications and I want to know what everyone thinks about bound verses unbound connections. I have been using unbound data connections with good results. I have about 200 users accessing the SQL server. Just want to know what people think the pros and cons are. Thanks

I use bound connections only for field retrieval(s). Anything else I code as though it were unbound....

I use unbound exlusively because it avoids refresh/update issues in my apps. However to cut down on the amount of associated code l find it best to define a class file for each file in the application. If you haven't seen this approach email me and l will send back an example application, (vb5).
