Execute, Requery, and Clear Methods Example (JScript)

Article
11/18/2022

This example demonstrates the Execute method when run from both a Command object and a Connection object. It also uses the Requery method to retrieve current data in a Recordset, and the Clear method to clear the contents of the Errors collection. (The Errors collection is accessed via the Connection object of the ActiveConnection property of the Recordset.) Name the file ExecuteJS.asp.
