This property determines the variant data type of the field.
For data fields in data source mode, and for linked fields in any mode, the value is derived from the underlying data source, so this property cannot be changed.
For other fields, that is, for calculated fields and data fields in memory array and user events mode, the programmer must specify the field data type.
See True DataControl Fields for details.
