The examples on NI's website were originally written using the DAO
model, but the latest one was written using the ADO model.
However, I am unable to find either example LLBs on their website
anymore. Maybe they're trying to push their SQL Toolkit.
Along with the VBA help in MS Access, I *highly* recommend the book
ADO Programming for Dummies. Wonderful book. Helped me understand the
VBA help. 🙂
Again, if anyone is intersted in VIs using ActiveX that works. He/she
is welcome to email me.
