Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Developer’s Guide- P16:This book is the successor to the SQL Server 2000 Developer’s Guide, which was extremely successful thanks to all of the supportive SQL Server developers who bought that edition of the book. Our first thanks go to all of the people who encouraged us to write another book about Microsoft’s incredible new relational database server: SQL Server 2005. | Chapter 8 Developing Database Applications with ADO 299 Private Sub BookMarkFind cn As _ rs As oBookMark As Variant With rs .CursorLocation adUseClient .Open Select from Order By SpecialOfferID cn End With Find Mountain Tire Sale and set a bookmark Description Mountain Tire Sale adSearchForward oBookMark Find Volume Discount over 60 display the remainder of the resultset Description Volume Discount over 60 adSearchBackward DisplayForwardGrid rs hflxResults End Sub In the beginning of the BookmarkFind subroutine you can see where instances of the ADO Connection and Recordset objects are passed into the subroutine.

The first instance of the Find method is used to locate the first row in the Recordset where the Description column contains the value of Mountain Tire Sale.
