How do I use an ADO connection to look up 1 field in a database?

27 New Member
I'm using an ado connection to connect to an access database using VB6.0.

The database structure has a table (Table1), with a unique field1 (ID), and another field2 (Name).

How do I use an ado connection to lookup a Name when given an ID? Within Access, I would use a dlookup command and dump the data into a variable...but I'm not sure how to do that using ADO.

Thanks!

Is it possible to call a remote php script from within Access? I'm thinking something like: DoCMD... http://www.domain.com/scripts/dataquery.php DoCmd.OpenQuery "update_data", acNormal, acEdit ..... So the PHP script does something on the server database, then when a linked table is viewed within access, the data changes have been made?
