Re: Problem with VB6, DAO, Data Control: Update does not work - Mailing list pgsql-odbc

Wolfgang Fürtbauer wrote:

If you have a choice (that is, this is a new application you are
developing or something) - go with ADO instead of DAO. About a year or
so back I did a conversion of an application from Access 97 to PG, and
most of it was in DAO. I had a lot of problems, switched to ADO and
things cleared up nicely (look in the archives for GENERAL and ODBC
lists to see my experiences).

Now, some of this may have been related to a combo of older ODBC driver
issues and older PG installs, which may be different today - but I don't
regret having to switch the application over...
