User-supplied properties are those characteristics that you
    specify when you are defining a CDO element. The datatype
    property is an example. (Compare this to system-supplied
    properties, which are explained under the system-properties help
    topic.)

    In the following example, the CDO SHOW FIELD/ALL command displays
    both the user and system-specified properties for FIELD_B. Only
    the datatype property was specified by the user.
