#$>ATAbsolutePage, PageCount, and PageSize Properties Example
This example uses the AbsolutePage, PageCount, and PageSize properties to display names and hire dates from the Employee table five records at a time.
Public Sub AbsolutePageX()
Dim rstEmployees As ADODB.Recordset
Dim strCnn As String
Dim strMessage As String
Dim intPage As Integer
Dim intPageCount As Integer
Dim intRecord As Integer
' Open a recordset using a client cursor
' for the employee table.
strCnn = "driver={SQL Server};server=srv;" & _
"uid=sa;pwd=;database=pubs"
Set rstEmployees = New ADODB.Recordset
' Use client cursor to enable AbsolutePosition property.
rstEmployees.CursorLocation = adUseClient
rstEmployees.Open "employee", strCnn, , , adCmdTable
' Display names and hire dates, five records
' at a time.
rstEmployees.PageSize = 5
intPageCount = rstEmployees.PageCount
For intPage = 1 To intPageCount
rstEmployees.AbsolutePage = intPage
strMessage = ""
For intRecord = 1 To rstEmployees.PageSize
strMessage = strMessage & _
rstEmployees!fname & " " & _
rstEmployees!lname & " " & _
rstEmployees!hire_date & vbCr
rstEmployees.MoveNext
If rstEmployees.EOF Then Exit For
Next intRecord
MsgBox strMessage
Next intPage
rstEmployees.Close
End Sub
#$>ATAbsolutePosition and CursorLocation Properties Example
This example demonstrates how the AbsolutePosition property can track the progress of a loop that enumerates all the records of a Recordset. It uses the CursorLocation property to enable the AbsolutePosition property by setting the cursor to a client cursor.
Public Sub AbsolutePositionX()
Dim rstEmployees As ADODB.Recordset
Dim strCnn As String
Dim strMessage As String
' Open a recordset for the Employee table
' using a client cursor.
strCnn = "driver={SQL Server};server=srv;" & _
"uid=sa;pwd=;database=pubs"
Set rstEmployees = New ADODB.Recordset
' Use client cursor to enable AbsolutePosition property.
rstEmployees.CursorLocation = adUseClient
rstEmployees.Open "employee", strCnn, , , adCmdTable
' Enumerate Recordset.
Do While Not rstEmployees.EOF
' Display current record information.
strMessage = "Employee: " & rstEmployees!lName & vbCr & _
"(record " & rstEmployees.AbsolutePosition & _
" of " & rstEmployees.RecordCount & ")"
If MsgBox(strMessage, vbOKCancel) = vbCancel _
Then Exit Do
rstEmployees.MoveNext
Loop
rstEmployees.Close
End Sub
#$>ATActiveConnection, CommandText, CommandTimeout, CommandType, Size, and Direction Properties Example
This example uses the ActiveConnection, CommandText, CommandTimeout, CommandType, Size, and Direction properties to execute a stored procedure.
Public Sub ActiveConnectionX()
Dim cnn1 As ADODB.Connection
Dim cmdByRoyalty As ADODB.Command
Dim prmByRoyalty As ADODB.Parameter
Dim rstByRoyalty As ADODB.Recordset
Dim rstAuthors As ADODB.Recordset
Dim intRoyalty As Integer
Dim strAuthorID As String
Dim strCnn As String
' Define a command object for a stored procedure.
Set cnn1 = New ADODB.Connection
strCnn = "driver={SQL Server};server=srv;" & _
"uid=sa;pwd=;database=pubs"
cnn1.Open strCnn
Set cmdByRoyalty = New ADODB.Command
Set cmdByRoyalty.ActiveConnection = cnn1
cmdByRoyalty.CommandText = "byroyalty"
