SYMPTOMS
========
When trying to pass dbAttachedTable or dbAttachedODBC as arguments to the
CDaoTableDef::Create() function or the CDaoTableDef::SetAttributes() function,
you will receive this DAO error:
Error Code = 3001
....
Description = Invalid argument.
CAUSE
=====
The Visual C++ documentation is incorrect. The values dbAttachedTable and
dbAttachedODBC cannot be passed as arguments. These attributes are read- only
attributes that are set internally by DAO based on the information provided in
the connect string of the table.
RESOLUTION
==========
Do not try to set these attributes. DAO will set the attributes based on what is
contained in the connect string for the table. For example, look at this code:
td.Create(_T("Table1"),0,_T("Table1"),
_T("FoxPro 2.6;DATABASE=d:\\mydatabase\\"));
DAO will set the dbAttachedTable attribute flag for that table. A call to
CDaoTableDef::GetAttributes() will show the flag has been set.
STATUS
======
This behavior is by design.
