Sets or returns a string containing the name of a server-side customization program (handler) that extends the functionality of the RDSServer.DataFactory, and any parameters used by the handler, all separated by commas (",").
Syntax
DataControl.Handler = String
Parameters
DataControl An object variable that represents an RDS.DataControl object.
String A String value that contains the name of the handler and any parameters, all separated by commas (for example, "handlerName,parm1,parm2,...,parmN").
Remarks
The functionality this property supports is called customization. Support for customization requires setting the CursorLocation property to adUseClient.
The name of the handler and its parameters, if any, are separated by commas (","). Unpredictable behavior will result if a semicolon (";") appears anywhere within String. You can write your own handler, provided it supports the IDataFactoryHandler interface.
The name of the default handler is MSDFMAP.Handler, and its default parameter is a customization file named MSDFMAP.INI. Use this property to invoke alternate customization files created by your server administrator.
The alternative to setting the Handler property is to specify a handler and parameters in the ConnectionString property; that is, "Handler=handlerName,parm1,parm2,...;".
