この例では、Index の IndexNulls プロパティの機能を示します。このコードでは、新規インデックスを作成し、ユーザーが List1 という名前のリスト ボックスに入力した内容に基づいて IndexNulls の値を設定します。Index は、Northwind Catalog の Employees Table に追加されます。新規 Index が Employees テーブルに基づいて Recordset に適用され、Recordset が開かれます。新規レコードが Employees テーブルに追加され、インデックス フィールドに Null 値が入ります。この新規レコードが表示されるかどうかは、IndexNulls プロパティの設定によって決まります。
