# ADO CursorLocation Property

Complete Recordset Object Reference

The CursorLocation property sets or returns a long value that indicates the location of the cursor service. It can be set to one of the CursorLocationEnum values. Default value is AdUseServer.

A cursor is used to:

- control record navigation
- control the visibility of changes in the database
- control the updatability of data

Note: A Recordset object inherits this setting from the associated Connection object.

Note: This property is read-only on an open Recordset object, and read/write on a Connection object or on a closed Recordset object.

### Syntax

objConnection.CursorLocation
objRecordset.CursorLocation

### Example

<%
set conn=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.Provider="Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"

sql="SELECT * FROM Customers"
rs.CursorLocation=adUseClient
rs.CursorType=adOpenStatic
