I have a project that will be using Access 2003 as the front-end and the data will be stored in SQL Server. Access will connect to SQL Server via linked tables with all the database logic (stored procedures, views) within SQL Server.
Given this setup, would it be better to use ADO or DAO within Access? Is it just a matter of preference or is one more suited to Access as a front-end and SQL Server as the data store? Especially when using linked tables. Thanks.
Write pass-thru queries as opposed to the linked table approach. Performance will be greatly improved. Writing an Access app?
Create some local tables to store some query results. You can dynamically change the pass-thru queries as needed as well as connection info for connecting to multiple databases.
Edit: General consensus is ADO for connecting to sql server/other sources and DAO for mdb only sources.
