Open Method (ADO MD)

See Also   Example   Applies To   

The Open method retrieves the results of a multidimensional query.

Syntax

Cellset.Open Source, ActiveConnection

Parameters

Source   Optional. A Variant that evaluates to a valid multidimensional query, such as an MDX query. The Source argument corresponds to the Source property. For more information about MDX, see the OLE DB for OLAP specification.

ActiveConnection   Optional. A Variant that evaluates to a string specifying either a valid ADO Connection object variable name or a definition for a connection. The ActiveConnection argument specifies the connection in which to open the Cellset object. If you pass a connection definition for this argument, ADO opens a new connection using the specified parameters. The ActiveConnection argument corresponds to the ActiveConnection property.

Remarks

The Open method generates an error if either of its parameters is omitted and its corresponding property value has not been set prior to attempting to open the Cellset.
