Note An AdoAdapter object used to retrieve data for the main data source can also submit data.

A data connection used to retrieve data for a secondary data source will correspond to one of the following data adapter object types:

- XMLFileAdapter

A data connection used only for submitting data will correspond to one of the following data adapter object types:

The DataAdapters collection can be accessed using the DataAdapters property of the XDocument object.

Note This object model member is not supported when the Disable Service Pack features option on the Advanced tab of the Options dialog box in InfoPath is selected or when Microsoft Office 2003 Service Pack 1 or later is not installed. Any form that implements this object model member in its code will generate an error message if it is opened in InfoPath when service pack features are disabled or unavailable.
