The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual Basic Enterprise Edition, 32-bit, for Windows, version 4.0
- Microsoft Visual Basic Enterprise Edition for Windows, version 5.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
If you attempt to access a non-existent rdoPreparedStatement, the error you
receive depends on whether there are other rdoPreparedStatements in the
collection.
If there are none, you will get this error:
40054 - invalid parameter.
If there is at least one, you will get this error:
40041: Couldn't find object indicated by text.
RESOLUTION
==========
To minimize the impact of this problem, ensure that any error handlers that may
trap the preceding errors perform the same code for both errors.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products that are
listed at the beginning of this article.
This bug was corrected in Visual Studo 97 Service Pack 3.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Steps To Reproduce Problem
--------------------------
1. Create a DSN in the 32-Bit ODBC section of the Control Panel. Name it "pubs"
and configure it to point to the pubs database on a Microsoft SQL server.
2. Start the 32-bit edition of Visual Basic version 4.0 for Windows. Form1 is
created by default.
3. Add two Command buttons to the form.
4. Add the following code to the General Declarations section of Form1:
Option Explicit
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim rdocon As rdoConnection
Dim rdoprep As rdoPreparedStatement
Set rdocon = rdoEngine(0).OpenConnection("pubs", False, _
False, "uid=;pwd=;")
Set rdoprep = rdocon.rdoPreparedStatements("Test1")
End Sub
Private Sub Command2_Click()
Dim rdocon As rdoConnection
Dim rdoprep As rdoPreparedStatement
Set rdocon = rdoEngine(0).OpenConnection("pubs", False, _
False, "uid=;pwd=;")
Set rdoprep = rdocon.CreatePreparedStatement("Test", _
"Select * from Authors")
Set rdoprep = rdocon.rdoPreparedStatements("Test1")
End Sub
5. Press the F5 key or click Start on the Run menu to run the application. Click
Command1, and you should see that Visual Basic gives the following error: (At
this point the prepared statement has not been created.)
40054 - invalid parameter.
6. Stop Visual Basic by using Stop on the Run Menu. Press the F5 key or click
the Run menu again. Click the second button. This time the error will be
different as the code has created a prepared statement:
40041: Couldn't find object indicated by text.
