# Views Collection (ADOX)
Contains all [View](../../../ado/reference/adox-api/view-object-adox.md) objects of a catalog.  
  
## Remarks  
 The [Append](../../../ado/reference/adox-api/append-method-adox-views.md) method for a **Views** collection is unique for ADOX. You can:  
  
-   Add a new view to the collection with the **Append** method.  
  
 The remaining properties and methods are standard to ADO collections. You can:  
  
-   Access a view in the collection with the [Item](../../../ado/reference/ado-api/item-property-ado.md) property.  
  
-   Return the number of views contained in the collection with the [Count](../../../ado/reference/ado-api/count-property-ado.md) property.  
  
-   Remove a view from the collection with the [Delete](../../../ado/reference/adox-api/delete-method-adox-collections.md) method.  
  
-   Update the objects in the collection to reflect the current database schema with the [Refresh](../../../ado/reference/ado-api/refresh-method-ado.md) method.
