ADO CursorLocation Property

Connection Object Reference Complete Connection Object Reference

The CursorLocation property sets or returns a long value that indicates the location of the cursor service. It can be set to one of the CursorLocationEnum values. Default value is AdUseServer.

A cursor is used to:

  • control record navigation
  • control the visibility of changes in the database
  • control the updatability of data

Note: A Recordset object inherits this setting from the associated Connection object.

Note: This property is read-only on an open Recordset object, and read/write on a Connection object or on a closed Recordset object.
