It's not just the paging, but ADO is often used in the code for things like updating the database, particully when dates are involved as it has been found that using an SQL update statement often leads to server and database incompatibilty problems with things like dats and times. With ADO handling this less problems occur.

Currently there is allot of code that would not run with the myODBS driver and would require that nearly all files be re-written to work with mySQL.

Hopefully a better myODBC driver will become available, but as I haven't seen a new driver in over a year my guess is that there will never be one that is fully compatiable with ADO.

Again, correct me if I'm wrong, but ...
With dates, you are always added the current date/time to the database, should you not be using the native databases time functions? In the case where there is a difference between forum and database time, you could use the native date function as well as the native dateAdd function for the database and cirumvent all database date problems.

Never been a fan of ADO updates and inserts. I prefer using the .execute method or stored procedures as it is faster.

So what'll be next. The MySQL or the asp.net version?

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.

The forum does use dates produced by the server or update dates in the database with dates/times that are not the correcnt date/time.

The server date time is used as problems were found where the SQL database was at a different time setting to the server the forum was on.

Also there are many, many other issues that I don't want to spend all day explaining. But basically there are many problems with making the forum compatible with mySQL that stretch further then just ADO problems, recordset paging, and sub quiries.
