Note
This feature will be removed in the next version of Microsoft SQL Server. Do not use this feature in new development work, and modify applications that currently use this feature as soon as possible.

Remarks
The class of the parent object depends on the class of the command object.

Example
The following example creates a cube command and assigns it to the first cube in the MDStores collection of the FoodMart 2000 database. It then prints some of the properties of the parent object by using the Parent property of the cube command object.
Dim dsoServer As New DSO.Server
Dim dsoDB As DSO.MDStore
Dim dsoCube As DSO.MDStore
Dim dsoDBCmd As DSO.Command
Dim dsoCubeCmd As DSO.Command
' Connect to the Analysis server.
dsoServer.Connect "LocalHost"
' Get a reference to the FoodMart 2000 database.
Set dsoDB = dsoServer.MDStores("FoodMart 2000")
' Get the first cube in the database's collection.
Set dsoCube = dsoDB.MDStores(1)
Debug.Print "Cube.Name = " & dsoCube.Name
' Add the command to the cube's collection.
Set dsoCubeCmd = dsoCube.Commands.AddNew("TempCommand")
Debug.Print "Cube.Commands(""TempCommand"").Name =" & _
dsoCube.Commands("TempCommand").Name
' Print the properties of the command's
' Parent object.
Debug.Print " .Parent properties" & vbCrLf & _
" -----------"
Debug.Print " TypeName(dsoCubeCmd.Parent) = " & _
TypeName(dsoCubeCmd.Parent)
If dsoCubeCmd.Parent.ClassType = clsCube Then
Debug.Print " .ClassType = clsCube"
Else
Debug.Print "This line should never be executed."
End If
Debug.Print " .Description = " & dsoCubeCmd.Parent.Description
Debug.Print " .Name = " & dsoCubeCmd.Parent.Name
dsoCube.Commands.Remove ("TempCommand")
