[AccessD] Assign Jet User Roster Recordset to Form

For anyone who is interested, here's the solution I came up with so I
could use the schema recordset to populate a form:

Public Function SchemaToRecordset(rstSchema As ADODB.Recordset) As
ADODB.Recordset
' accepts a schema recordset and converts it into a memdory resident ADO
recordset
' for display.  No connection object is needed because this is a
disconnected recordset
' built in memory.  It also could be persisted to XML or ADTG format if
we wanted.

  Dim rst As ADODB.Recordset
  Dim intElement As Integer
  
  'instantiate the recordset
   On Error GoTo SchemaToRecordset_Err

  Set rst = New ADODB.Recordset
    If rstSchema.RecordCount <> 0 Then
        rstSchema.MoveFirst
        With rst
            'append the fields/"dimensions"
            .Fields.Append rstSchema.Fields(0).Name, adVarChar,
Len(rstSchema.Fields(0).Name)
            .Fields.Append rstSchema.Fields(1).Name, adVarChar,
Len(rstSchema.Fields(1).Name)
            .Fields.Append rstSchema.Fields(2).Name, adBoolean,
Len(rstSchema.Fields(2).Name)
            .Fields.Append rstSchema.Fields(3).Name, adBoolean,
Len(rstSchema.Fields(3).Name)
          
            'put data in the recordset
            .Open
            
            Do While Not rstSchema.EOF
              .AddNew Array(.Fields(0).Name, .Fields(1).Name,
.Fields(2).Name, _
                    .Fields(3).Name), Array(Trim(rstSchema.Fields(0)),
Trim(rstSchema.Fields(1)), _
                    Trim(rstSchema.Fields(2)),
Trim(Nz(rstSchema.Fields(3), 0)))
              rstSchema.MoveNext
            Loop
            'write all pending changes - no save required
            .UpdateBatch
        End With
    End If
    Set SchemaToRecordset = rst

SchemaToRecordset_Exit:
   On Error Resume Next
   Exit Function

SchemaToRecordset_Err:
    MsgBox "Error: " & Err.Number & " - " & Err.Description,
vbExclamation, "SchemaToRecordset"
    rst.Close
    Set rst = Nothing
    Resume SchemaToRecordset_Exit
End Function

Well it *may* return an array, but it responds like a recordset if you
don't use GetString.  You can use all the .MoveNext, .EOF, etc.,
methods, and the Fields collection has properties like Name available.
It seems like there should be a simpler way to use the results.
