Data Environment

[vladimir]

Hello,
I am starting a new project in VB6, I'm going to use ADO. I've never worked ADO before, and my question is: should I use Data Environment Designer or my program will be more efficient if I work with ADO directly? The same question about ActiveX data control: is it a good practice to use it?
Thank you very much for any comments.
Vlad.

I would suggest skipping the designer so you can learn ADO, which also happens to be more efficient than those dummy fill in the blank forms. the same goes for the data control, but the data control saves alot of time when you need to bind fields to it
