Try running an ADP in the A2007 runtime, and you'll see that MSFT's

I was an afficionado for a long time, and we have built several large
ADP-based apps for our clients, but I have had to reconsider that
position.

I think this is not correct, For instance, Access 2003 ADPs allow
setting an ADO recordset as a report's recordset. Access 2002 ADPs,
(nor any MDBs, TTBOMK) does not have this capability.

The general notion among MDB aficionados that ADPs are separate but
equal is prompted, IMO, by the those aficionados' lack of ADP
experience. ADPs are superior creatures in many ways.

It appears MSFT is phasing out support for ADP.

MSFT certainly haven't made any enhancements to ADPs for the last few versions.
