ADO OriginalValue and UnderlyingValue Properties


Field Object Reference Complete Field Object Reference

The OriginalValue property returns a variant that contains the field value as it existed right after the last Update or UpdateBatch method call.

The UnderlyingValue property returns a variant that contains the current value of a field. This value does not necessarily show changes made by other users and may not be the latest value.

Tip: Use the Resync property of the Recordset object to get the latest values for all of the Field objects in the Fields Collection.

Tip: These properties can be used together to prevent update conflicts.
