Database Connectivity

If you are creating a Web-based application, your application is probably going to have forms. And it will probably also require some kind of database. ActiveX® Data Objects (ADO) provides you with a set of powerful tools for accessing and manipulating data sources.

The samples in this section illustrate the techniques required to use ADO effectively, and how you can best put its functionality to use in a Web-based application.

For more information on ADO, and Microsoft data access tools in general, refer to the Microsoft Data Access documentation.
