The difference between these controls is that the first uses Data Access
Objects technology to connect to a database, the second uses ActiveX Data
Objects, which is a newer technololgy and generally regarded as better than
DAO.

Thank you brother for your explaination.. But, is there any differences in writing the database coding, between those two?

Bcoz i've read that using the ADO in more complex... What's meant by that complex?

Hi, ADO uses similar properties and methods like DAO. It differs in some methods and properties. The way of open the database and Table are somewhat differ.
