TITLE   :INFO: Cannot Access UserConnection Properties from Add-In
PRODUCT :Microsoft Visual Basic for Windows
PROD/VER:5.0
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:vb5all kbinfo

The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Visual Basic Learning, Professional, and Enterprise Editions
   for Windows, version 5.0

SUMMARY
=======

It is not possible to obtain property information for the UserConnection
object from a Visual Basic Add-In. The one exception is the name property.
All other property values are not available.

MORE INFORMATION
================

This situation is the result of the current implementation of the
UserConnection ActiveX Designer. Object models are optional for ActiveX
Designers and may or may not be implemented by the developer. In the
absence of the relevant object model, as is the case with the
UserConnection, the only property values available to an Add-In are those
that appear in the properties window. Microsoft is currently reviewing this
issue with regard to the UserConnection and will post additional
information here when it becomes available.
Additional query words: user connection
