We have been using OO4O 2.0.7 (16 and 32 bit) for about 8 months and have found it much better than ODBC, DAO or RDO. This version does not have an OCX, so you must declare everything as object and code the mothods and properties manually (nothing shows up in the object browser). Still, I highly recommend it if you do not need database independance.
