ODBC per se, is not the source of poor performacne in ODBC applications. Many other things can be the cause, including using the base JET database engine in VB, instead of RDO. Many products that use ODBC create ad hoc SQL statements, without index support, that simply CANnot perform well.

Excellent performance with ODBC is possible - John Sears has a good presentation on this.

At the same time, I agree that ADO will usually do better. But it, too, will suffer from poor index support.

And, VB can (slowly with ODBC) get to DB2 files.  If you want complete
control of the Excel spreadsheet, this is a possible solution.
