Mode Property

Indicates the available permissions for modifying data in a Connection, Record, or Stream object.

Settings and Return Values

Sets or returns a ConnectModeEnum value. The default value for a Connection is adModeUnknown. The default value for a Record object is adModeRead. The default value for a Stream associated with an underlying source (opened with a URL as the source, or as the default Stream of a Record) is adModeRead. The default value for a Stream not associated with an underlying source (instantiated in memory) is adModeUnknown.

Remarks

Use the Mode property to set or return the access permissions in use by the provider on the current connection. You can set the Mode property only when the Connection object is closed.

For a Stream object, if the access mode is not specified, it is inherited from the source used to open the Stream object. For example, if a Stream is opened from a Record object, by default it is opened in the same mode as the Record.

This property is read/write while the object is closed and read-only while the object is open.

Remote Data Service Usage   When used on a client-side Connection object, the Mode property can only be set to adModeUnknown.
