ADODB Object

WillChangeRecordset

 
Syntax
 
WillChangeRecordset(adReason, adStatus, pRecordset)
 
Description
Called before any pending changes are made to the Recordset.
 
The WillChangeRecordset event can be fired before any pending change occurs in the contents of a Recordset. This can be due to a pending call to either the Open or Requery methods of the Recordset object.
 
In contrast, the RecordsetChangeComplete event can be fired after a change occurs in the Recordset.
 
An event is simply a subroutine that can be called automatically after a specific operation has occurred. This subroutine can contain any code that you need to run when the event occurs. The subroutine will only be called if it is included in your code.
 
There are three parameters passed to this event.
 
Parameter
Description
adReason
The adReason parameter is one of four of the EventReasonEnum constants that describe what pending operation caused this event to fire. Note that there is a total of fifteen of these constants, but only the following four can actually be used by this parameter.
adStatus
The adStatus parameter is one of the EventStatusEnum constants that describes the current status of the event. If the action that triggered this event was successful, then the argument will be set to adStatusOK. If the pending operation cannot be cancelled, it will be set to adStatusCantDeny.
pRecordset
The pRecordset parameter is the Recordset object to which this event applies.

Example
 
' Use the WithEvents keyword to designate that events
' can be handled by this Recordset object
Dim WithEvents objRecSet As ADODB.Recordset
 
' Note how the object name, objRecSet, is incorporated into the event Sub name
Private Sub objRecSet_WillChangeRecordset( adReason As ADODB.EventReasonEnum, _
   adStatus As ADODB.EventStatusEnum, _
   ByVal pRecordset As ADODB.Recordset )
 
' place any code you desire here, for example
If adReason = adRsnResynch Then
   adStatus = adStatusCancel
End If
 
End Sub
