A Field object should not be directly created because it exists only in the context of a recordset. Use Set to refer to a specific Field object.
The following table shows the properties the Field object supports.
| Property | Description |
| ActualSize | Indicates the actual length, in bytes, of a field’s value. |
| Attributes | Returns a value that indicates one or more characteristics of a Field object. |
| DefinedSize | Used to determine the data capacity of a Field object; returns the defined size of the field in characters. |
| Name | Returns the name of a field. |
| Type | Indicates the data type of a Field object. |
| UnderlyingValue | Indicates the current value of a Field object in the database. |
| Value (default) | Indicates the current value of a Field object in the recordset. |
Remarks
The Field object has no methods or events. With the exception of Value, all properties are read-only.
The following code example shows how to use a Field object to display data in a table.
Dim rs, f
Set rs = CreateObject("adoce.recordset")
rs.Open "MSysTables"
Set f = rs.Fields(0)
Msgbox f.Value, ,f.Name
