dotnet ado.net : DAO, SQL Server 2005, and VB6

I have some legacy VB6 code that uses DAO (Microsoft DAO 3.6) to access
an access 2000 database. In this app, Access is used soley for data
storage - there is no UI component. I have converted the database to
SQL Server 2005. Can I use DAO to access the new SQL Server database,
or must I change all the DAO calls to ADO? I would like to rewrite as
little code as possible.

Thanks,
Marcus

I am writing the code in VB6, not VB.Net. I don't think interop comes
into this, does it?

Basically, yes. DAO can access ODBC, through which you can access SQL
Server. Using an Access Database with all the local tables replaced with
ODBC linked tables is an easy way to do this.

It doesn't, but this is a newsgroup for .NET, so we assumed you wanted DAO
in that environment.

You can use interop to reference the DAO.dll.
