I'd be interested to hear from some of you that are using adps, or have
tried thoroughly and given up on them. I currently use pass-through
queries and stored procedures with Access 2003 mdbs to sql server 2005.
That works pretty ok once you get the hang of it all. I've always
regarded projects as being off the table since MS clearly shifted away
from adp years ago.
I suppose there are two crucial aspects to my question.
First, for current development, is adp solid enough to use for complex
projects; is development notably faster than with odbc and pass-through
queries; are there performance gains?
Second, what is the sense about adp in the next version of Access, or
preferably a replacement that's even better for working with robust
backend rmdbs. I have not read anything about MS' view of Access to SQL
Server going forward, which is pretty insane.
