Type Property Example (Field) (VJ++)

Type Property Example (Field) (VJ++)

This example demonstrates the Type property by displaying the name of the constant that corresponds to the value of the Type property of all the Field objects in the Employees table. The FieldType function is required for this procedure to run.
