Is there any way to find an Access 2000 fields data type using ADOX.
I'm populating a tree with table names, then each nodes sub-nodes are the field names, I would like to append the field data type after their names.

try this
rs.Fields(0).Type ---> Data type
rs.Fields(0).Precision
How do I then get the data type name from these numbers?Quote:

this is from MSDN - the Type property of the Field object (ADO)
Type Property (ADO)
Indicates the operational type or data type of a Parameter, Field, or Property object.
Settings and Return Values
Sets or returns one of the following DataTypeEnum values. The corresponding OLE DB type indicator is shown in parentheses in the description column of the following table. For more information about OLE DB data types, see Chapter 10 and Appendix A of the OLE DB Programmer's Reference.
Constant Description
adArray Joined in a logical OR together with another type to indicate that the data is a safe-array of that type (DBTYPE_ARRAY).
adBigInt An 8-byte signed integer (DBTYPE_I8).
adBinary A binary value (DBTYPE_BYTES).
adBoolean A Boolean value (DBTYPE_BOOL).
adByRef Joined in a logical OR together with another type to indicate that the data is a pointer to data of the other type (DBTYPE_BYREF).
adBSTR A null-terminated character string (Unicode) (DBTYPE_BSTR).
adChar A String value (DBTYPE_STR).
adCurrency A currency value (DBTYPE_CY). Currency is a fixed-point number with four digits to the right of the decimal point. It is stored in an 8-byte signed integer scaled by 10,000.
adDate A Date value (DBTYPE_DATE). A date is stored as a Double, the whole part of which is the number of days since December 30, 1899, and the fractional part of which is the fraction of a day.
adDBDate A date value (yyyymmdd) (DBTYPE_DBDATE).
adDBTime A time value (hhmmss) (DBTYPE_DBTIME).
adDBTimeStamp A date-time stamp (yyyymmddhhmmss plus a fraction in billionths) (DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP).
adDecimal An exact numeric value with a fixed precision and scale (DBTYPE_DECIMAL).
adDouble A double-precision floating point value (DBTYPE_R8).
adEmpty No value was specified (DBTYPE_EMPTY).
adError A 32-bit error code (DBTYPE_ERROR).
adGUID A globally unique identifier (GUID) (DBTYPE_GUID).
adIDispatch A pointer to an IDispatch interface on an OLE object (DBTYPE_IDISPATCH).
adInteger A 4-byte signed integer (DBTYPE_I4).
adIUnknown A pointer to an IUnknown interface on an OLE object (DBTYPE_IUNKNOWN).
adLongVarBinary A long binary value (Parameter object only).
adLongVarChar A long String value (Parameter object only).
adLongVarWChar A long null-terminated string value (Parameter object only).
adNumeric An exact numeric value with a fixed precision and scale (DBTYPE_NUMERIC).
adSingle A single-precision floating point value (DBTYPE_R4).
adSmallInt A 2-byte signed integer (DBTYPE_I2).
adTinyInt A 1-byte signed integer (DBTYPE_I1).
adUnsignedBigInt An 8-byte unsigned integer (DBTYPE_UI8).
adUnsignedInt A 4-byte unsigned integer (DBTYPE_UI4).
adUnsignedSmallInt A 2-byte unsigned integer (DBTYPE_UI2).
adUnsignedTinyInt A 1-byte unsigned integer (DBTYPE_UI1).
adUserDefined A user-defined variable (DBTYPE_UDT).
adVarBinary A binary value (Parameter object only).
adVarChar A String value (Parameter object only).
adVariant An Automation Variant (DBTYPE_VARIANT).
adVector Joined in a logical OR together with another type to indicate that the data is a DBVECTOR structure, as defined by OLE DB, that contains a count of elements and a pointer to data of the other type (DBTYPE_VECTOR).
adVarWChar A null-terminated Unicode character string (Parameter object only).
adWChar A null-terminated Unicode character string (DBTYPE_WSTR).
Remarks
For Parameter objects, the Type property is read/write. For all other objects, the Type property is read-only.
Thanks guys, but when I call the Type property I get a number.
202 for text, 11 for Bool etc.
How do I get the text values in lists you quoted.
i hope its the complete list o datatypes....
by the way are any diff when we access oracel database
