>Can I just create an ADO recordset from the table in the access database, disconnect and save it to the project folder, then reopen it as needed? It would never need to be reconnected once saved. Is there a better way to handle it?

To save an ADO recordset, use «rstData.Save PathFileName». To reopen it, use «rstdata.open PathFileName».


>Also, anyone know how to create an ADO rs on fly, just to hold some data in my app to sort and then discard?

Use this syntax:

Dim rstX as adodb.recordset
set rstX = new adodb.recordset
with rstx
   .cursorlocation=aduseclient
   .cursortype=adopenstatic
   .locktype=adlockbatchoptimistic
   .fields.append "Field1",adInteger
   .fields.append "Field2", adchar, 20
   .open
end with
