AddNew Method Example (VBScript)
This example uses the AddNew method to create a new record with the specified name.
Use the following example in an Active Server Page (ASP). Use Find to locate the file Adovbs.inc and place it in the directory you plan to use. Cut and paste the following code to Notepad or another text editor, and save it as AddNewVBS.asp. You can view the result in any client browser.
