File-less Database

Im hoping someone can help me out here.
I am looking to create a virtual type database that is created on runtime and is destroyed when the program ends.

After looking at my program I figure this would be the best way to handle the data rather then trying to play around with a bunch of arrays and "if then"s.

I have done it before with VBScript in ASP but cannot find any articles for VB6 in regards to this.

If anyone can help me out it would be great.

Incase you dont know what Im talking about, this is a snip of what I was doing in ASP:

Code:

---

<object runat="Server" scope="Application" id="rstActiveUsers" progid="ADODB.Recordset">
</object>
        Const adInteger = 3
        Const adVarChar = 200
        Const adDate = 7
        rstActiveUsers.Fields.Append "id", 3
        rstActiveUsers.Fields.Append "nickname", adVarChar, 25
        rstActiveUsers.Fields.Append "area", adVarChar, 75

---

u could make your own type

VB Code:

Type EmployeeRecord   ' Create user-defined type.
   ID As Integer   ' Define elements of data type.
   Name As String * 20
   Address As String * 30
   Phone As Long
   HireDate As Date
End Type
 
Dim MyRecord As EmployeeRecord   ' Declare variable
 
Private Sub Command1_Click()
    MyRecord.ID = 12003   ' Assign a value to an element.
    MsgBox MyRecord.ID
End Suc

There is very little difference between your asp code and the vb code. Depending on your needs, you may need to increase the scope of the variables used below. They are private to a form.

VB Code:

Option Explicit
 
Private Const adInteger = 3
Private Const adVarChar = 200
Private Const adDate = 7
    
Private rstActiveUsers As ADODB.Recordset
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
  Set rstActiveUsers = New ADODB.Recordset
 
  rstActiveUsers.Fields.Append "id", adinteger
  rstActiveUsers.Fields.Append "nickname", adVarChar, 25
  rstActiveUsers.Fields.Append "area", adVarChar, 75
  rstActiveUsers.Open
End Sub
