>The question was not blown off. Do ADO shapes work??? Yes.


For presenting data, yes - to some degree. The individual provider has to support it. Also, we do more in this world than just look at data. We update data. Updating data through a shaped recordset does not work. In fact, updating data through any recordset does not work all that well either...

Given all that, shapes really don't work.

I will be happy to debate this topic with you....
