# ADO Save Method

Complete Recordset Object Reference

The Save method saves a Recordset object to a file or a Stream object. When the save method is finished, the record pointer will point at the first record of the Recordset.

Note: If there is a filter applied to the Recordset, only the "filtered" records will be saved.

Note: This method can only be called on an open Recordset.

### Syntax

    objRecordset.Save destination,persistformat

Parameter | Description
--- | ---
destination | Optional. Specifies where to save the Recordset object; the path name of a file or a reference to a Stream object
persistformat | Optional. A PersistFormatEnum value that specifies the format of the Recordset (XML or ADTG). Default is adPersistADTG

### Example

You can save a Recordset in XML format:

    <%
    set xmlDoc=CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
    set conn=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
    conn.Provider="Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"
    conn.Open "c:/webdata/northwind.mdb"

    set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.recordset")
    rs.Open "Customers", conn
    'Save the Recordset into a DOM tree
    rs.Save xmldoc, 1
    %>

### PersistFormatEnum Values

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
adPersistADTG | 0 | Saves in a Microsoft Advanced Data TableGram (ADTG) format.
adPersistXML | 1 | Saves in Extensible Markup Language (XML) format
adPersistADO | 1 | Saves in ADO's own Extensible Markup Language (XML) format. This value is the same as adPersistXML and is included for backwards compatibility
adPersistProviderSpecific | 2 | The provider will persist the Recordset using its own format
