    & "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.

' Recordset. Pass the Recordset object and desired
' field width.
