hey friends...i am a beginner in VB applications..and while linking databases with my projects i have come across these terms : COM, OLE, OLE DB, OCX, ActiveX
Though i vaguely know about them i often get confused between them...i guess because of their close relationships..so please anyone clearly explain what they are and also the differences between them... :)
Also please explain their relations with DAO, RDO and ADO...i think OLE is related to DAO..and OLE DB to RDO....but not sure... :( :P :)
can anyone help me??
