Dim OraSession As OraSession 
Dim OraDatabase As OraDatabase 
Dim OraDynaset As OraDynaset 
Dim Address As OraObject 
Dim City As OraAttribute 
Dim State As OraAttribute 
 
'Create the OraSession Object. 
Set OraSession = CreateObject("OracleInProcServer.XOraSession") 
 
'Create the OraDatabase Object by opening a connection to Oracle. 
Set OraDatabase = OraSession.OpenDatabase("ExampleDb", "scott/tiger", 0&) 
 
'create a dynaset object from person_tab 
Set OraDynaset = OraDatabase.CreateDynaset("select * from person_tab", 0&)
 
'retrieve an address column from person_tab
'the Value property of OraField object returns Address OraObject 
Set Address = OraDynaset.Fields("Addr").Value 
 
'access the City attribute object 
Set City = Address("City") 
 
' display the value of City attribute Object 
MsgBox City.Value 
 
'access the State attribute object 
Set State = Address("State") 
 
'display the value of State attribute Object
