ADO for the Beginner (Page 1 of 5 )
There's hardly much ado about nothing if you're talking about ADO. It stands for ActiveX Data Objects. You use these objects to access data sources. Keep reading to learn how you can start using them effectively for some basic tasks.
So I was speaking to my two friends the other day, Don Pedro and Balthasar, and they were rambling on about something:
Don Pedro: Nay Pray thee come, or if thou wilt hold longer argument, do it in notes.
Balthasar: Note this before my notes: there's not a note of mine that's worth the noting.
Don Pedro: Why, these are very crotchets that he speaks -- note notes forsooth, and nothing!
Me: Uhh what?
Yeah those guys know how to party. And while they are all a part of the whole Ado scene, it isn't quite the one I am writing about here today.
In this tutorial, I will discussing the vainglorious usage of ADO or ActiveX Data Objects.

ADO, as shown above stands for ActiveX Data Objects. They are a set of objects used to access data sources. It is a successor to RDO (Remote Data Objects) and DAO (Data Access Objects).
Before we begin learning ADO, I am going to assume a few things:
You don't have to be a professor in those subjects, just have a working knowledge or a basic understanding of them.
Now that all of that is out of the way, let's learn how to work with this bad mama jama.
