  • Microsoft Open Database Connectivity, version 2.0

SUMMARY

Using Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) version 2.0 Microsoft Access driver when you call SQLColAttribute for fDescType=SQL_COLUMN_LABEL for a result set column that is a column in a table, the returned value is the field or column name and not the field description that might have been added to the table in Microsoft Access version 2.0.

MORE INFORMATION

In Microsoft Access version 2.0 during a table design, a field description can be added for a column. However, when a query is executed that has a result set with that column, SQLColAttribute with fDescType equal to SQL_COLUMN_LABEL for that column returns column name as the label and not the field description.
