< Complete Recordset Object Reference
The CursorLocation property sets or returns a long value that indicates the location of the cursor service. It can be set to one of the CursorLocationEnum values. Default value is AdUseServer.
A cursor is used to:
- control record navigation
- control the visibility of changes in the database
- control the updatability of data
Note: A Recordset object inherits this setting from the associated Connection object.
Note: This property is read-only on an open Recordset object, and read/write on a Connection object or on a closed Recordset object.
