ADODB Object

CursorType

 
Syntax
 
CursorTypeEnum = recordsetobject.CursorType
recordsetobject.CursorType = CursorTypeEnum
 
Description
Sets or returns a CursorTypeEnum value that defines the type of cursor being used.
 
The CursorType property sets or returns a CursorTypeEnum constant that specifies the type of cursor to use when you open a Recordset object. Unfortunately, not all types of cursors are recognized by all providers. If you request a cursor type that is not supported, the provider will probably change the type. The value of the CursorType property will be changed accordingly.
 
After the Recordset is open, you cannot set the CursorType property. However, you can return the property to see which cursor is actually being used.
