I need to build in VB a disconnected recordset that lists all of the fields for a given table, somewhat similar to what the VB demo program shows when you run 'sp_columns tablename', though I only need the field names and description, if it is available. Can you give me some direction?

Just do:

Const adUseClient = 3
rs.CursorLocation = adUseClient

strSQL = "sp_tables"
'Open rs
rs.Open strSQL, cnConnection, adOpenStatic, adLockReadOnly

And loop through the recordset for each table:

then:

strSQL = "sp_Columns """ & sTableName & """"
'Open rs
rs.Open strSQL, cnConnection, adOpenStatic, adLockReadOnly

And spin through the columns for that table.
