ACC2: Help Topic "Converting Code" Sample Code Incorrect
ID: Q114732

SYMPTOMS
Advanced: Requires expert coding, interoperability, and multiuser skills.
The sample code for running a pass-through query in the Microsoft Access
version 2.0 Help system topic "Examples of Converting Code to Version 2.0"
is not correct. If you run this code, you will receive one of the following
error messages:
Object variable not set or Name not found in this collection
-or-
Invalid SQL statement; expected 'DELETE', 'INSERT', 'PROCEDURE',
'SELECT', or 'UPDATE'
RESOLUTION
The incorrect sample code is as follows:
' Given open Database object MyDB.
Dim Q As QueryDef
Set Q = MyDB.CreateQueryDef("MYODBCQuery")
Q.SQL = "Exec My_Stored_Procedure"
Q.Connect = "ODBC; DSN=MyServer; UID=sa; PWD=hithere; DATABASE=pubs"
Q.ReturnsRows = True
Dim R As Recordset
Set R = Q.OpenRecordset()
To correct the code, make the following two changes:
- Change the line that reads
Q.ReturnsRows = True
to be:
Q.ReturnsRecords = True
The correct name for the property is ReturnsRecords.
- Move the line that reads
Q.SQL = "Exec My_Stored_Procedure"
so that it is directly beneath the line that reads:
Q.Connect = "ODBC; DSN=MyServer;..."
The syntax "Exec My_Stored_Procedure" is only valid in a pass-through
query. Setting the connect property changes the new query from a select
query to a pass-through query.
The corrected code should be as follows:
' Given open Database object MyDB.
Dim Q As QueryDef
Set Q = MyDB.CreateQueryDef("MYODBCQuery")
Q.Connect = "ODBC; DSN=MyServer; UID=sa; PWD=hithere; DATABASE=pubs"
Q.SQL = "Exec My_Stored_Procedure"
Q.ReturnsRecords = True
Dim R As Recordset
Set R = Q.OpenRecordset()
STATUS
This problem no longer occurs in Microsoft Access version 7.0.
