EditMode Property - ADO

Indicates the editing status of the current record.

Applies To

Recordset

Return Values

Returns one of the following EditModeEnum values:
Constant Description
adEditNone Indicates that no editing operation is in progress.
adEditInProgress Indicates that data in the current record has been modified but not yet saved.
adEditAdd Indicates that the AddNew method has been invoked, and the current record in the copy buffer is a new record that hasn't been saved in the database.

Remarks

ADO maintains an editing buffer associated with the current record. This property indicates whether changes have been made to this buffer, or whether a new record has been created. Use the EditMode property to determine the editing status of the current record. You can test for pending changes if an editing process has been interrupted and determine whether you need to use the Update or CancelUpdate method.

See the AddNew method for a more detailed description of the EditMode property under different editing conditions.
