Clone method example (VBScript)

  • Article

Applies to: Access 2013, Office 2013

This example uses the Clone method to create copies of a Recordset and then lets the user position the record pointer of each copy independently.

Use the following example in an Active Server Page (ASP). This example uses the Northwind database distributed with Microsoft Access. Cut and paste the following code to Notepad or another text editor and save it as CloneVBS.asp. You can view the result in any client browser.

To exercise the example, change the line RsCustomerList.Source = "Customers" to to RsCustomerList.Source = "Products" to count a larger table.
