ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) is useful for accessing various types of databases. For example, you can use ADO within VBScript to connect to and access data contained in Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. In "Using ADO to Access Excel, Part 1," (InstantDoc ID 99123), I presented the script ADOExcel.vbs that demonstrates how to use ADO to access Excel. Now, I'll expand on that basic information to explain ADO cursor types, describe how to sort a recordset, and show you how to use a universal data link (.udl) file as your ADO connection.
