How to Generate a List of Supported ADO Properties

The following sample code displays a list of ADO Connection properties and their defaults in the VB Immediate window. The example uses the latest version of the IOM provider, as indicated by the value of the Connection object's Provider property. To specify a different provider, replace "sas.IOMProvider.9.3" with the appropriate ProgID (see How to Identify the SAS Providers).

Option Explicit
Sub Main()
    Dim obConnection As New ADODB.Connection
    Dim obRecordset As New ADODB.Recordset
    Dim p As ADODB.Property
    obConnection.Provider = "SAS.IOMProvider.9.3"
    For Each p In obConnection.Properties
        Debug.Print p.Name & " = " & p.Value
    Next p
End Sub
