VB6 DAO Class Reference
-
Does anyone know where I might be able to find a good reference that explains all the properties, functions, and classes of the DAO Reference Library? I am trying to learn how to use the Parameter Class and would like to read up on the rest. I have search google multiple times, but can not come with anything. I can't even find a good reference book at B&N. Thanks in advance.

That's because DAO has been obsolete for years now. The replacement is ADO inside the Microsoft Data Access Components. Since I can't get to MSDN now (DNS is failing), go to http://msdn.microsoft.com/data[^] and look through the docs there. [EDIT] You might also find the docs for DAO in the MSDN Library Archives. Go to http://msdn.microsoft.com/archive/[^] to see if they still have the docs... RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome

Yes, there a is a little bit difficult for a people who want to learn DAO in the .NET technology era. I would like to recommend you a book, but it might be old for you to learn and it might be difficult to find it in the bookstore. As I remember, try to find the books titled “Programming DAO” published by Microsoft Press. I forgot its author name, but I think this one is the good one. Try to learn VBA books in Access 97 also teach you about DAO technology. If you have MSDN Library January 2000, then there is also a section teaching you to learn DAO Reference. Office Developer documentation also the best place for learning DAO and ADO technology. Roath Kanel APO-CEDC Save Children Norway-Cambodia Office

Thanks for the information. I will try to find those books. I have had a lot more success with DAO over ADO and it seems to run faster, therefore I have been using DAO. I found some information about using the parameter class from Microsoft last night and it helped. I would just like to find a good reference for the whole object library. Thanks guys.

I would still highly recommend you abandon the DAO approach and use ADO/ADO.NET. DAO's final version is 3.6 and will no longer be available on any future version of Windows, nor will there be any updates, other than security, to functionality.
