An ADO connection is used to connect a program like Daisy to a database being accessed using ADO.

Three types of connection are available :-

• Data Link File uses a data link file with a .udl extension to link to the database.

• ODBC Data Source Name uses an ODBC Data Source. This is usually a file with a .dsn extension.

• Connection String uses a full connection string entered by the user.

It is beyond the scope of this Help to give a full treatise on ADO here.

It is suggested that you :-

• Use Google to search for something like 'ADO syntax' or 'ADO connection string'.

• Buy one of the recommended books on the subject.

• Visit a useful web site.
