Appendix B. DAO Object Method and Property Descriptions
This appendix provides a detailed alphabetical list of all the objects that DAO supports, including descriptions of their methods, properties, and collections. These descriptions are for reference purposes only, and you should consult the online Help for more in-depth descriptions.

ODBCDirect workspaces are used against ODBC data sources, such as SQL Server. Beginning with Office 2007, Microsoft is no longer shipping Remote Data Objects (RDO) that enabled this type of workspace. As a result, ODBCDirect is no longer supported in DAO.
