Applies To:clsAggregationDimension, clsCubeDimension, clsDatabaseDimension, clsPartitionDimension
Data Type

Remarks
The primary mechanism for identifying the data in a dimension is the Name property. The purpose of the Description property is to provide additional descriptive information.
Example
Use the following code to print the names of the dimensions in a database:
'Assume an object (dsoDB) of ClassType clsDatabase exists.
Dim dsoDim As DSO.Dimension
Dim dimCounter As Integer
For dimCounter = 1 To dsoDB.Dimensions.Count
Set dsoDim = dsoDB.Dimensions(dimCounter)
Debug.Print dsoDim.Name
Next dimCounter
