Default DataControl - Good or Bad?

I am just starting a new project, I am going to build a VB FrontEnd, for an Access DB. I have decided to use ADO as the DB will be upgraded to SQL Server within 12 Months.
I wanted to if there are any limitations in using the ADODataControl, I used it a while back in a project based on a smaller Access DB, and found it was a convenient shortcut - I just wanted to check if it would still prove a convenient shortcut for a larger project or if it would prove a burden later down the line.

Thanks in advance
Ben

Hi,

You should go with ADO Data Control. It the most advanced control released by Microsoft.

It will really help you in your long run.

Thanks,

Lalit
