RDO isn't supported anymore, however, RDS (being a subset of ADO, used for
client side disconnected recordsets) is still supported and may have it's
use, depending on your environment (needs IE to support it, of course!)

Cheers

RDO, (not RDS), is an OLD object.  Anyways, It is much better to avoid the
ActiveX components and hand script the data connections.  RDS is not even
supported by Microsoft anymore with the advent of ADO.
