ADO » Connection » State

Syntax:
long = connectionobject.State

Returns a long value (the ObjectStateEnum value) describing if the connection is open or closed.

The State property returns a long value that is the sum of one or more ObjectStateEnum constants. These constants describe if the Connection object is open, closed, or connecting.

The adStateExecuting and adStateFetching constants are not used. The default value is adStateClosed.

You can call the State property at any time.
