Summary:
Pages 11, 12, and 16 of the "Microsoft SQL Server Programmer's
Reference for Visual Basic Library for SQL Server" manual contain
examples that incorrectly call the SqlInit$() and SqlLogin%()
functions.
The manual shows the following incorrect syntax:
If SqlInit$ = "" Then
Print "Can't start VBSQL."
End
End If
Login% = SqlLogin%
The manual should show the following correct syntax:
If SqlInit$() = "" Then
Print "Can't start VBSQL."
End
End If
Login% = SqlLogin%()
If the opening and closing parentheses are not present after the
SqlInit$() and SqlLogin%() function calls, Visual Basic will assume
they are variables and login attempts will fail.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a documentation error on pages 11,
12, and 16 of the "Microsoft SQL Server Programmer's Reference for
Visual Basic Library for SQL Server" manual. We will post new
information here when the documentation has been updated to correct
this error.
