RecordSets -- just do Find Replace over all project.
    replace to VCursor

Two ways here:

1) slow by general

    Class Vfield() has
            Value as VARIANT.

So

     piStatus = (vBusinessTable.Field("ibRegoStatusQU").value
    

2) Faster, assume your field has ULONG type, then

     piStatus = (vBusinessTable.ULongField("ibRegoStatusQU").value
