I have a project that uses about a dozen ADODC's on one form. In the interest of conserving memory (running the app currently sucks up about 12-13 megs RAM), I've been deliberating whether converting some of these Data Controls into code will make much of a difference.

One problem is I use a _lot_ of DataGrids, and they simply won't accept a code recordset (I have tried extensively with "set DataGrid.DataSource = rs, and it doesn't have an effect").

I've also linked up a _ton_ of textboxes to various Data Controls, and writing up all these links in code using the .DataSource property is going to be a chore. So the question is, will it be worth all the trouble changing to code, or will it not really make much of a difference? If there is a difference, what kind of performance increase can I expect?
