Views and Fields Collections Example (VB)

The following code demonstrates how to use the Command property and the Recordset object to retrieve field information for the view.

Sub ViewFields()

    Dim cnn As New ADODB.Connection
    Dim rst As New ADODB.Recordset
    Dim fld As ADODB.Field
    Dim cat As New ADOX.Catalog

    ' Open the Connection
    cnn.Open _
        "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
        "Data Source=c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\" & _
        "Office\Samples\Northwind.mdb;"

    ' Open the catalog
    Set cat.ActiveConnection = cnn

    ' Set the Source for the Recordset
    Set rst.Source = cat.Views("AllCustomers").Command

    ' Retrieve Field information
    rst.Fields.Refresh
    For Each fld In rst.Fields
        Debug.Print fld.Name & ":" & fld.Type
    Next

End Sub
