SUMMARY
=======

The following article contains the complete contents of the DATACONS.TXT file
distributed with the Standard and Professional Editions of Visual Basic version
3.0 for Windows. DATACONS.TXT gives the values of named constants used for data
access in Visual Basic.

The DATACONS.TXT file is required as a supplement to the following manual,
because this manual gives the names of the constants without specifying all the
values:

 - Microsoft Visual Basic 3.0: Professional Features Book 2: Data Access Guide
