Inherited Property

           

Returns a value that indicates whether a Property object is inherited from an underlying object.

Return Values

The return value is a Boolean data type that is True if the Property object is inherited. For built-in Property objects that represent predefined properties, the only possible return value is False. This property is always False in an ODBCDirect workspace.

Remarks

You can use the Inherited property to determine whether a user-defined Property was created for the object it applies to, or whether the Property was inherited from another object. For example, suppose you create a new Property for a QueryDef object and then open a Recordset object from the QueryDef object. This new Property will be part of the Recordset object's Properties collection, and its Inherited property will be set to True because the property was created for the QueryDef object, not the Recordset object.
