AcView |
A AcView constant that specifies the view in which the stored procedure will open. The default value is acViewNormal. |

Optional |
AcOpenDataMode |
A AcOpenDataMode constant that specifies the data entry mode for the stored procedure. The default value is acEdit. |
Remarks
In a Microsoft Access project, you can use the OpenStoredProcedure method to open a stored procedure in Datasheet view, stored procedure Design view, or Print Preview. This method runs the named stored procedure when opened in Datasheet view. You can select the data entry mode for the stored procedure and restrict the records that the stored procedure displays.
If you don't want to display the system messages that normally appear when a stored procedure is run (indicating it's a stored procedure and showing how many records will be affected), you can use the SetWarnings method to suppress the display of these messages.
Example
The following example opens the Employees stored procedure in Design view.
DoCmd.OpenStoredProcedure "Employees", 1
