Data Access Constants Available

Written by Eric Smith, Northstar Computer Systems LLC

Find yourself hard-coding a lot of the data access constants in your applications? If you weren't aware, there is a file called ADOVBS.INC on your server that contains all the data access constants that are used throughout the documentation on MSDN. While there are quite a few constants and including them all could cause a performance issue on some machines, I find that not having to look up and hard-code constants makes a performance hit worth it. You can find the file by doing a Find from Windows or Windows NT Explorer. I found 7 different instances of the file on my server…you'll probably find the same.
