FIX: New Version of RDO 2.0 Breaks VB5 UserConnection Designer

• Microsoft Visual Basic Enterprise Edition for Windows, version 5.0

SYMPTOMS

While trying to add queries using the UserConnection Designer in Visual Basic 5.0, you may see an error message stating:

"Unable to create the type information for this connection". Closing the UserConnection Designer at this point may lead to a GPF.

CAUSE

This problem can be caused by installing the latest version of RDO 2.0 that ships with many of the Visual Studio 6.0 products without installing the latest version of the UserConnection Designer.

This problem does not occur if the version of the UserConnection Designer that ships with Visual Basic 6.0 is installed.

RESOLUTION

For Visual Basic 5.0 customers who do not have access to Visual Basic 6.0, the following file updates the UserConnection Designer so that it will work properly with the new RDO 2.0 components:
