[RESOLVED] Data Environment

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).

thank you very much for the tips guys.. Hope that other viewers benefit from your answers.
