This example demonstrates how the Item property accesses members of a collection. The example opens the Authors table of the Pubs database with a parameterized command.
The parameter in the command issued against the database is accessed from the Command object's Parameters collection by index and name. Then the fields of the returned Recordset are accessed from that object's Fields collection by index and name.
