I have never used DAO, but a colleague of mine told me the other day,
that DAO was designed for Access, and is cumbersome to use with SQL Server.

In any case, DAO is old technology, and I would suspect that you don't get
full support for newer features in SQL Server with DAO, but I could be wrong
on that particular point. Nevertheless, I would consider ripping out DAO
in favour of ADO which is more up to date. Admittedly, I find ADO quite
ugly as well, and ADO .Net is a lot more palatable. That would however call
for a migration to VB .Net, which may be an overkill.
