[AccessD] determining the datatype of a bound control

I currently determine the data type of the data that a control is displaying
by the following code:

Dim strCtlSrc As String
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim intType As Integer
    strCtlSrc = txtDOB.ControlSource
    Set rst = Me.RecordsetClone
    intType = rst.Fields(strCtlSrc).Type

Is there a similar method of getting at this from ADO?
