Creates a new Parameter object with the specified properties.
Set parameter = command.CreateParameter (
Name, Type, Direction, Size, Value)
parameter
The new ADO Parameter Object.
Name
An optional String representing the name of the Parameter object.
Type
An optional Long value specifying the data type of the Parameter object. See the ADO Parameter Object Type Property for valid settings.
Direction
An optional Long value specifying the type of Parameter object. See the ADO Parameter Object Direction Property for valid settings.
Size
An optional Long value specifying the maximum length for the parameter value in characters or bytes.
Value
An optional varValue specifying the value for the Parameter object.
Returns a Parameter object.
Use the CreateParameter method to create a new ADO Parameter Object with the specified name, type, direction, size, and value. Any values you pass in the arguments are written to the corresponding Parameter properties.
This method does not automatically append the Parameter object to the ADO Parameters Collection of a Command object. This lets you set additional properties whose values ADO will validate when you append the Parameter object to the collection.
If you specify a variable-length data type in the Type argument, you must either pass a Size argument or set the ADO Parameter Object Size Property of the Parameter object before appending it to the Parameters collection; otherwise, an error occurs.
See the ADO Collections Append Method example.
