I don't think they will interfere with each other in any way. OO4O is just a set of object libraries, just like DAO. You use it just like DAO (except the properties and methods have different names, but they work much the same.) I have experimented with this also (although not as much as I would like). I am very impressed with OO4O. Since those objects talk directly to SQL*Net, they bypass the DAO-ODBC Administrator-ODBC driver-SQL*Net chain, so performance should (theoretically) be as good (or better) than coding the ODBC API calls and as simple as using DAO against MSAccess.

Good luck!

Let me know how you experimentation goes!
