ADO vs DAO

Can anybody speak to the pros and cons of ADO vs DAO? I’ve been using DAO for several years and am trying to convert to ADO/ADOX. I keep running into problems using ADO and am wondering if the move is worth the trouble. Are there significant advantages to using ADO that I am not seeing? If I don’t find any convincing arguments, I’m going to move back to DAO … it’s not the fastest, but it seems more stable and easier to work with. My primary development environment is Access XP and I write lots of VBA code.
