That looks like Visual Basic 3/4/5/6...

Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim sSQL As String

sSQL = "Select * From customers;"
With DAO
Set db = .OpenDatabase("mydata.mdb")
Set rs = .OpenRecordset(sSQL)
End With

'... rest of the code

Except I think it works a little better with the "With" in
Visual Basic.

What's the advantage of a namespace if you have 5 different
databases to connect to?

Absolutely nothing. Namespaces are for source code separation, not database selection.
jerry, i think he meant the DAO used in the 'with' statement...which is NOT a namespace but an object instance. i believe his code sample above would fail anyway since i don't recall DAO being a static class - static was introduced to vb in vb.net.
OK, that makes sense. Not being familiar with DAO, I wouldn't know (or care ;-) ).
dude, all he had to say was 'vb' and i completely lost interest from there. ;^)

:-) Unfortunately, I need to do some VB work still.
don't get me wrong...i use vb.net all the time. however, it's more like a programming language than whatever they call vb < .net these days.

what's worse is that he's probably more likely using vb 3/4 since data access objects were obsoleted in later versions for the alimighty (laughs) adodb class(es). that would also explain why he has no idea that dao.interface is not the same as namespace::resource

later.
Yep, I understand. I use the adodb interface in VB, though - it really is better.
worlds better...just don't bind form controls to it. vb.net's adodb is supposed to have fixed all the crap that happened doing that in the past. however, i was so frustrated with 'the past' that i still keep a middle man (my o.m.) inbetween the ui and db layers.
Sounds interesting. But I don't do vb.net. Rather, I'm trying to get my last vb customer converted to MySQL/PHP.

Unfortunately, it's a non-profit with a large (and VERY POORLY written) site. It's going to be expensive to do it right, even if I give them a discount.

have fun with that. ;^)



Thanks... :-)

What can I say. Every page starts out with

<%ON ERROR RESUME NEXT%>

And when I make changes to a page, I need to go back and fix the existing errors before I can add new code.
