    [02/03] MS Access interface: Your Opinion

    I know this isn't the Database forum, but this form provides better answers and exposure. What is best (pros and cons) to use when interfacing with an MS Access database: ADO or OleDb?

    ADO and OLE DB are the same thing. ADO is a more user friendly API for OLE DB.

    Depends on what your using for your front end? VB 6 or .NET etc.

    .NET has optimized providers for Accecss - OleDbConnection, OleDbDataAdapter, etc.

    Please dont cross forum post.

    I will merge the other thread with this one.


    Done.


    Edit: Since this is now deemed as VB.NET you should be using ADO.NET vs ADO or anything else.
