Repetitive tasks are nothing new to a developer. Writing ADO interface code is one of these tasks. In this article David R. K. DeLoveh shows us how to write code to generate code for calling stored procedures in SQL Server 7.
Developer Stephan Onisick shows us how to create a standalone/custom recordset and use its organizational ability to perform logical tasks with data without connecting to a database.
