The SHOW RECORD command displays a complete or partial list of properties for the record elements you specify, provided you have read privilege. If you do not specify a full path name (or the FROM DATABASE clause), CDO searches your current default directory for the record name. If you do not specify a record name, CDO displays the properties of all record elements in your default directory. If you do not specify a version number for a record element, CDO displays the properties of the highest visible version. If you do not have read privilege for a record and for each component part of that record, CDO will not display the record name or properties.
