    A schema may suit:

       Set rs = cn.OpenSchema(adSchemaColumns, _
   Array(Empty, Empty, Empty, SelectFieldName))

    Where
    adSchemaColumns = 4
    rs is a recordset object
    cn a connection object
    SelectFieldName is the column name, “Date Applied” in this case.

    The constraints for this schema are:

    TABLE_CATALOG
TABLE_SCHEMA
TABLE_NAME
COLUMN_NAME

    Columns (fields) returned are:

    TABLE_CATALOG
TABLE_SCHEMA
TABLE_NAME
COLUMN_NAME
COLUMN_GUID
COLUMN_PROPID
ORDINAL_POSITION
COLUMN_HASDEFAULT
COLUMN_DEFAULT
COLUMN_FLAGS
IS_NULLABLE
DATA_TYPE
TYPE_GUID
CHARACTER_MAXIMUM_LENGTH
