# NamedParameters Property (ADO)
Indicates whether parameter names should be passed to the provider.  
  
## Remarks  
 When this property is true, ADO passes the value of the **Name** property of each parameter in the **Parameter** collection for the [Command Object](../../../ado/reference/ado-api/command-object-ado.md). The provider uses a parameter name to match parameters in the **CommandText** or **CommandStream** properties. If this property is false (the default), parameter names are ignored and the provider uses the order of parameters to match values to parameters in the **CommandText** or **CommandStream** properties.  
  
## Applies To  
 [Command Object (ADO)](../../../ado/reference/ado-api/command-object-ado.md)
