I am going to use sql server as the database for the back-end of an application. I was wondering what type of connection should i use: ADO, OLE DB, or ODBC? And i was wondering can someone explain the differnce between these. I have looked at the Microsoft site but i was looking for the simple version of the differences.

Thanks

Use ADO. ODBC is becoming out-dated (at least as far as Microsoft technology is concerned). ADO is just a wrapper for the more complex OLE DB.
