Quickly find out the type of variables returned from your adodb recordset. TypeName() function doesn't do the trick. Databases offer additional data types. This script helps solve type problems without having to lookup the name of the numbers returned.

First, thanks for all your submissions. They are appreciated.
In the ADODBTypeName description you state that TypeName() doesn't do the trick. Could you be a bit more specific as I have been using it quite a lot recently.

Neil

TypeName has problems because you can't determine between specific types. You can do a test by creating a table with all the different data types. Select all fields from the table and do a typename on each one. You'll see that some are the same when they are not.

useful snippet, thanks!
but with select case statements i always use a case else at the end..it's safer in case you haven't covered all of the possible options.
ie:
Case Else: ADODBTypeName="UNKNOWN"
End Select
