     This is an ADO DB tutorial for programmers who know nothing about ADO. It is a good template to following when making your own project. I hope that it helps.

I was very surprised to find the code easy to read. The proper naming conventions were used throughout the code which made it user friendly. Thanks for your explanation and demonstration of ADO programming!

When you add a new record, instead of closing and opening the recordset again, you can use rsRecordSet.Requery.

Good point. I wrote this tutorial to get a better understanding of ADO. At the time, I thought it was easier to open and close the recordset. I may do an update when some changes such as yours (and use an HTML presentation like my Class Module Tutorial). Thanks for your input. Thanks

You guys will probably laugh at this, but how do I get rid of this invalid key problem? I am using vb5, and none of the code I get from this site works.

Finally someone out there that understands that there are those of us that are good programmers, just not always in the same language that they are. I was looking for a way to write programs that I have already done in cold fusion, in a stand alone application. this saved the day for me. Thanx

In response to the VB5 and invalid key question, you need to open the VBP file and remove the line starting with 'Retained = '

Hey, I am going to download your code. But my enquiry is "how to save IMAGE with data". e.g. Address book Printing. In this we need to save information of person + photograph. Please guide me.

I have a question and I hope you can offer some insight. Do you know a simple way to use ADO to connect to a DBF file and store the data from the file in a recordset? Thank you
