Refresh Method Example (VBScript)
The following example shows how to set the necessary parameters of RDS.DataControl at run time. The manner in which a Recordset is retrieved using the Refresh method is determined by the settings of the ExecuteOptions and FetchOptions properties. To test this example, cut and paste the following code into a normal ASP document and name it RefreshVBS.asp. Use Find to locate the file Adovbs.inc and place it in the directory you plan to use. ASP script will identify your server.
