The Field Object

Although we've been talking of Recordset objects as tables, that's just a

convenient mental model. Recordset objects actually consist of a twodimensional

array of Field objects. In the ADO object model, Field objects

contain the data. Therefore, each Field object has a type, a size, and a value. A

Field object also has properties for the numeric scale of its value, the original

value, the underlying value (in the database), the defined size, the actual size,

and the precision, as well as a list of other attributes. Most of the time you

will not need to deal with the Field object properties and methods, but its

useful to study them in case you do need them.
