ADO is how the millions of Visual Basic programmers hitch onto Microsoft's Universal Database Access strategy. But power breeds complexity and ADO isn't trivial! This book is based on best-selling author Bill Vaughn's years of experience working with front-line data access developers and the development team at Microsoft itself. Now, this Microsoft veteran collects his insights and collected wisdom into working solutions for the common, and uncommon, data-related problems developers face every day. His suggestions promise to yield far better performance — both for the developer and the application.
