Constant

Value

Description

adCreateCollection

0x2000

Creates a new Record at the node specified by Source parameter, instead of opening an existing Record. If the source points to an existing node, then a run-time error occurs, unless adCreateCollection is combined with adOpenIfExists or adCreateOverwrite.

adCreateNonCollection

0

Creates a new Record of type adSimpleRecord.

adCreateOverwrite

0x4000000

Modifies the creation flags adCreateCollection, adCreateNonCollection, and adCreateStructDoc. When OR is used with this value and one of the creation flag values, if the source URL points to an existing node or Record, then the existing Record is overwritten and a new one is created in its place. This value cannot be used together with adOpenIfExists.

adCreateStructDoc

0x80000000

Creates a new Record of type adStructDoc, instead of opening an existing Record.

adFailIfNotExists

-1

Default. Results in a run-time error if Source points to a non-existent node.

adOpenIfExists

0x2000000

Modifies the creation flags adCreateCollection, adCreateNonCollection, and adCreateStructDoc. When OR is used with this value and one of the creation flag values, if the source URL points to an existing node or Record object, then the provider must open the existing Record instead of creating a new one. This value cannot be used together with adCreateOverwrite.
