When should I use VC++ for database front ends?

Hi everyone. I've been programming database front ends using Access and Visual Basic for years, and the UI seems fast enough in all my applications. So my question is: What are the circumstances when I should use VC++? I'm new to VC++ so I really want to know. Is it a lot faster when handling huge dao/ado recordsets? (I seldom handle huge recordsets anyway, since I only retrieve records / fields that are needed and update the database using SQL statements / stored procedures.) Thanks.

I am really bad at any kind of database programming, but I would say stick with VB for DB(that was a lame rhyme thing). C++ seems too complicated for DB access, its your choice of course, but if I was going to be doing any DB programming, I would use VB or PowerBuilder.
