For a description of the information returned in dbinfo, see the CDaoDatabaseInfo structure. This structure has members that correspond to the items of information listed above in the description of dwInfoOptions. When you request information at one level, you get information for any prior levels as well.

For more information about obtaining database information, see the article DAO Collections: Obtaining Information About DAO Objects in Visual C++ Programmer's Guide.
