A list of named constants. Enumerated values need not be unique. However the name of each value must be unique within the scope where the enumeration is defined. In ADO, enumerations are used for numeric parameter and return values, to add meaning to ADO code and to shield the developer from the numeric values (which may change from version to version). For example, to open a static Recordset, use the adOpenStatic enumerated value:
Recordset.Open ,,adOpenStatic
Also referred to as enumerated constant. See also constant.
