You can check the Type property of that field.


Recordset.Field("MyField").Type

The type would be one of the following constants:


dbBigInt - Big Integer
dbBinary - Binary
dbBoolean - Boolean
dbByte - Byte
dbChar - Char
dbCurrency - Currency
dbDate - Date/Time
dbDecimal - Decimal
dbDouble - Double
dbFloat - Float
dbGUID - GUID
dbInteger - Integer
dbLong - Long
dbLongBinary - Long Binary (OLE Object)
dbMemo - Memo
dbNumeric - Numeric
dbSingle - Single
dbText - Text
dbTime - Time
dbTimeStamp - Time Stamp
dbVarBinary - VarBinary
