Streams

Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects (ADO)

Streams

A Stream object can be opened on:

  • A simple file specified with a URL.

  • A field of a Record or Recordset containing a Stream object.

  • The default stream of a Record or Recordset object representing a directory or compound file.

  • A resource field containing the URL of a simple file.

  • No particular source at all. In this case, a Stream object is opened in memory, and data can be written to it, and then saved in another Stream or file.

  • A BLOB field in a Recordset.
