# LevelDepth Property (ADO MD)
Indicates the number of levels between the root of the hierarchy and a [member](../../../ado/reference/ado-md-api/member-object-ado-md.md).  
  
## Return Values  
 Returns a **Long** integer, and is read-only.  
  
## Remarks  
 Use the **LevelDepth** property to determine the distance of the [Member](../../../ado/reference/ado-md-api/member-object-ado-md.md)object from the root level of the hierarchy. The **LevelDepth**of a member at the root level is 0. This corresponds to the [Depth](../../../ado/reference/ado-md-api/depth-property-ado-md.md) property of a [Level](../../../ado/reference/ado-md-api/level-object-ado-md.md) object.  
  
## Applies To  
 [Member Object (ADO MD)](../../../ado/reference/ado-md-api/member-object-ado-md.md)
