Syntax
Example
For a Field object:
<%
set conn=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.Provider="Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"
conn.Open "c:/webdata/northwind.mdb"set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rs.open "Select * from orders", connresponse.write(rs.Fields(0).Type) rs.Close
conn.close
%> For a Parameter object:
<%
set comm=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
set para=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Parameter")para.Type=adVarChar
para.Size=25
para.Direction=adParamInput
para.Value=varfname comm.Parameters.Append para
%> For a Property object:
<%
set conn=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.Provider="Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"
conn.Open "c:/webdata/northwind.mdb"set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rs.open "Select * from orders", connset prop=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Property")'Display the property attributes of the Orders Table for each prop in rs.Properties
response.write("Attr:" & prop.Attributes &"<br />")
response.write("Name:" & prop.Name & "<br />")
response.write("Value:" & prop.Value & "<br />")
response.write("Type:" & prop.Type & "<br />")
nextrs.close
conn.close
set rs=nothing
