Appendix A. DAO 3.0/3.5 Collections, Properties,
and Methods
Microsoft Access 97 comes with a utility known as the
Object Browser
, which can be
used to explore the DAO object hierarchy. Figure A-1 shows the Object Browser, which
can be invoked from an Access code module by striking the F2 function key (or from the
View
menu).
Figure A-1. The Object Browser
The Object Browser can be a very useful tool, but there are times when a hardcopy
reference is also useful. Accordingly, this appendix contains information on the
collections, properties, and methods of each of the objects in the DAO 3.0 object
hierarchy (which underlies Access 95) and the DAO 3.5 (which underlies Access 97). If
nothing else, this information should help point you to the right spot in the Access Online
Help System.
In this DAO reference, a table listing the classes and collections available in DAO is
followed by tables listing the properties and methods exposed by each class, as well as
the collections that are accessible from each object. The tables also indicate whether each
item applies to DAO 3.0, DAO 3.5, or both. Finally, there is a summary description of
each item.
