Managing Connections with the rdoEnvironment Object

You can use the rdoEnvironment object's OpenConnection method to open connections to the data source and create rdoConnection objects to manage and reference these connections.

Note   It is no longer always necessary to reference the rdoEnvironment object because rdoConnection objects can be created as stand-alone objects.
