Too all you newbies out there, This is something I wrote for a friend of mine, teaching how to use the basic extraction-from-db utilities. It shows how you can link an Access database using the ADODC Component. It includes thorough explanations and examples. It really is teaching the basics of ADODC components - nothing fancy - I just remembered my own time as a beginner, trying to search for new ways to learn. I hope it will help you :) ~moo
