ADO Save Method


❮ Complete Recordset Object Reference

The Save method saves a Recordset object to a file or a Stream object. When the save method is finished, the record pointer will point at the first record of the Recordset.

Note: If there is a filter applied to the Recordset, only the "filtered" records will be saved. 

Note: This method can only be called on an open Recordset.

Parameter Description
destination Optional. Specifies where to save the Recordset object; the path name of a file or a reference to a Stream object
