• Query (read only), which is used for search, Quick Retrieve, and
lookups.
• PCDDocObject (read/write), which implements the DM objects
and modifies tables in the library database.
• Child objects of PCDDocObject (read/write), which get or set

Defining a DM
Object
In general, to define a DM object, you need to do the following:
1 Create the object in one of the following ways:
— Early bind:
Dim search as PCDSearch
— Late bind:
Dim search as Object
Set search = _
CreateObject("PCDClient. PCDSearch ")
2 Set the DST using the SetDST method.
3 Specify a library for the object.
4 Specify the object type (the name of a form).
5 Set properties to identify the specific object.
6 Perform a method.
