Question

I have an insert that does not take any parameters.

which is a better way of doing things?

Set writeConn  = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") 
        Call OpenConnect(writeConn)     

        Set objCommand = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
        objCommand.ActiveConnection = writeConn
        objCommand.CommandText = insstmt
        objCommand.Execute()
         writeConn.Close()

or

Set writeConn  = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") 
        Call OpenConnect(writeConn)     


        writeConn.Execute(InsStmt)
        writeConn.Close()

they seen to be doing the same thing…thank you!

Answer 1

They are equivalent. I would recommend you do it like this:

writeConn.Execute InsStmt,,adCmdText + adExecuteNoRecords 

The adExecuteNoRecords parameter indicates that no data will be returned and avoids the creation of an (empty) recordset.
