If you want to link to a Microsoft Access database from a standalone VB program, you can use ADODB. The connection string will need to be specific for Access. I'm looking for a sample and will post it when I find it.
You can also set up an ODBC connection for the MS Access database and use that in your VB for connecting.

There is no need to us ADODB to link to an Access MDB or ACCDB.

If you mean to link tables then you're right - DAO is much easier to work with if the goal is to build linked tables from within Access.
If the OP wishes to connect to an Access database from another environment (like VB or ASP) there's nothing wrong with using ADO. In many cases it's preferable to build a connection to the Database using ADO and then work with that connection, depending on what you want to accomplish.
