ActiveConnection, CommandText, CommandTimeout, CommandType, Size, and Direction Properties Example

This example uses the ActiveConnection, CommandText, CommandTimeout, CommandType, Size, and Direction properties to execute a stored procedure.

Public Sub ActiveConnectionX()

	Dim cnn1 As ADODB.Connection
	Dim cmdByRoyalty As ADODB.Command
	Dim prmByRoyalty As ADODB.Parameter
	Dim rstByRoyalty As ADODB.Recordset
	Dim rstAuthors As ADODB.Recordset
	Dim intRoyalty As Integer

	Dim strCnn As String

	' Define a command object for a stored procedure.
	Set cnn1 = New ADODB.Connection

	cnn1.Open strCnn
	Set cmdByRoyalty = New ADODB.Command
	Set cmdByRoyalty.ActiveConnection = cnn1
	cmdByRoyalty.CommandText = "byroyalty"
	cmdByRoyalty.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc
	cmdByRoyalty.CommandTimeout = 15
		
	' Define the stored procedure's input parameter.
	intRoyalty = Trim(InputBox( _
		"Enter royalty:"))
	Set prmByRoyalty = New ADODB.Parameter
	prmByRoyalty.Type = adInteger

	prmByRoyalty.Direction = adParamInput
	prmByRoyalty.Value = intRoyalty
	cmdByRoyalty.Parameters.Append prmByRoyalty
  
	' Create a recordset by executing the command.
	Set rstByRoyalty = cmdByRoyalty.Execute()
		
	' Open the Authors table to get author names for display.
	Set rstAuthors = New ADODB.Recordset
	rstAuthors.Open "authors", strCnn, , , adCmdTable
	
	' Print current data in the recordset, adding
	' author names from Authors table.
