    Sub ProcedureX() 
     
        Dim dbs As Database, rst As Recordset 
        Dim qdf As QueryDef, strSql As String 
         
        ' Modify this line to include the path to Northwind 
        ' on your computer. 
        Set dbs = OpenDatabase("Northwind.mdb") 
         
        strSql = "PROCEDURE CategoryList; " _ 
            & "SELECT DISTINCTROW CategoryName, " _ 
            & "CategoryID FROM Categories " _ 
            & "ORDER BY CategoryName;" 
         
        ' Create a named QueryDef based on the SQL 
        ' statement. 
        Set qdf = dbs.CreateQueryDef("NewQry", strSql) 
     
        ' Create a temporary snapshot-type Recordset. 
        Set rst = qdf.OpenRecordset(dbOpenSnapshot) 
     
        ' Populate the Recordset. 
        rst.MoveLast 
                 
        ' Call EnumFields to print the contents of the  
        ' Recordset. Pass the Recordset object and desired 
        ' field width. 
        Execute EnumFields rst, 15 
         
        ' Delete the QueryDef because this is a 
        ' demonstration. 
        dbs.QueryDefs.Delete "NewQry" 
         
        dbs.Close 
     
    End Sub
