Step 2: Initialize the Main List Box

To declare global Record and Recordset objects

• Insert the following code into the (General) (Declarations) for Form1:

  Option Explicit
  Dim grec As Record
  Dim grs As Recordset

  This code declares global object references for Record and Recordset objects that will be used later in this scenario.

To connect to a URL and populate lstMain

• Insert the following code into the Form Load event handler for Form1:

  Private Sub Form_Load()
      Set grec = New Record
      Set grs = New Recordset
      grec.Open "", "URL=http://servername/foldername/", , _
          adOpenIfExists Or adCreateCollection
      Set grs = grec.GetChildren
      While Not grs.EOF
          lstMain.AddItem grs(0)
          grs.MoveNext
      Wend
  End Sub

  This code instantiates the global Record and Recordset objects. The Record, grec, is opened with a URL specified as the ActiveConnection. If the URL exists, it is opened; if it does not already exist, it is created. Note that you should replace "http://servername/foldername/" with a valid URL from your environment.

  The Recordset, grs, is opened on the children of the Record, grec. Then lstMain is populated with the file names of the resources published to the URL.
