FIX: Can't Select First Table When Creating DAO Table Recordse

Last reviewed: September 18, 1997
Article ID: Q139490

The information in this article applies to:

  - Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Edition, version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

If you are using AppWizard or ClassWizard to create a table-type recordset derived from CDaoRecordset, you will not be able to successfully select the first table in the list of tables presented. Attempting to do so will result in a dialog box bearing the following message:

  You must select one table for this table-type recordset.

RESOLUTION

To work around this problem, follow this procedure:

Instead of selecting a Table recordset type in the wizard, use Dynaset.
Edit the implementation (.cpp) file of the resulting recordset and search for the member variable m_nDefaultType. Change the type of recordset by modifying the value that is assigned to that member.
Change this:
```
     m_nDefaultType = dbOpenDynaset;
```
To this:
```
     m_nDefaultType = dbOpenTable;
```

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This bug was corrected in Visual C++ 4.1.
