DataMember property (ADO)

  • Article

Applies to: Access 2013, Office 2013

Indicates the name of the data member that will be retrieved from the object referenced by the DataSource property.

Settings and return values

Sets or returns a String value. The name is not case sensitive.

Remarks

This property is used to create data-bound controls with the Data Environment. The Data Environment maintains collections of data (data sources) containing named objects (data members) that will be represented as a Recordset object*.*

The DataMember and DataSource properties must be used in conjunction.

The DataMember property determines which object specified by the DataSource property will be represented as a Recordset object. The Recordset object must be closed before this property is set. An error is generated if the DataMember property isn't set before the DataSource property, or if the DataMember name isn't recognized by the object specified in the DataSource property.

Usage

    Dim rs as New ADODB.Recordset
    rs.DataMember = "Command"     'Name of the rowset to bind to
    Set rs.DataSource = myDE      'Name of the object containing an IRowset
