Question : When is it most appropriate to use ADO vs. SQL statements and queries in a multi-user environment?

Dear Experts,

When is it most appropriate to use ADO vs. SQL statements and queries in a multi-user environment? I'm starting to learn ADO and I'm wondering if it is even a good idea with a split database. I'm thinking about how efficient it utilizes network traffic or not.

I'm at the point where I'm 'blossoming' (sorry) in my understanding of Access database fundamentals and its starting to come together. I'm getting ready to start a project to test my knowledge - hence, I ask this question.

ADO will give you the best control over which data you actually want to query or update, and is the method to choose to minize network traffic.
for example, you can ensure you read only those record(s) and columns you really need, and not the full table as access often does for the bound forms ...
