BUG: DAOENROL - Can't See Added Records in Windows 95

• The Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) included with: - Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Edition, versions 4.0, 4.1, 4.2

SYMPTOMS

If you run the DAOENROL sample from Visual C++ version 4.0, 4.1, or 4.2 under Windows 95 and you add a record, you may not see the record in the result set. If you exit the program, restart it and scroll through the records. You will then see the added record. The "More Information" section below gives a more detailed scenario that shows the problem.

CAUSE

The CDaoRecordView class keeps track of the first and last record by using Microsoft Jet bookmarks. Microsoft Jet bookmarks should not be assumed to be valid following a Requery(). DAOENROL does a Requery() following an add and a move, but it continues to use the bookmark values it obtained before the Requery() was done.

RESOLUTION

To fix the DAOENROL sample, you must re-initialize the CDaoRecordView bookmark members following a Requery(). DAOENROL performs a Requery() in three places:

• in the CAddForm::OnMove() function in Addform.cpp.
• in the CSectionForm::OnSelendokCourselist() function in Sectform.cpp.
• in the CSectionForm::OnMove() function in SectForm.cpp.

   m_pSet->Requery();           // here's the existing Requery()

   m_varBookmarkCurrent = 1L;   // add these...
   m_varBookmarkFirst =         // ...lines of...
      m_varBookmarkLast = 0L;   // ..code!

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
