PRB: Handling Errors Caused by the MSRDC Update Method (142926)

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce

1. Start Visual Basic, or if it is already running, choose New Project from the File menu.
2. If the Microsoft RemoteData Control is not in the Toolbox, right click on the Toolbox and select "Custom Controls" from the pop-up menu. In the Custom Controls dialog box, click on the entry labeled "Microsoft RemoteData Control" and click OK to add the Microsoft RemoteData Control.
3. Double click on the RemoteData Control in the Toolbox to add a new RemoteData Control, named MSRDC1, to the form.
4. Right-click on the MSRDC and select Properties to set the DataSource property to a valid DSN, and the SQL property to an appropriate SQL statement.
5. Place three Text Boxes on the form and set their DataSource properties to MSRDC1 and their DataField properties to three different fields in the recordset.
6. Place two command buttons on form1 that will be named Command1 and Command2 by default.
7. Copy the following code into the General Declarations section of form1:

      Private Sub Command1_Click()
        MSRDC1.Resultset.Edit
      End Sub
   
      Private Sub Command2_Click()
        On Error GoTo ehUpdate
        MSRDC1.Resultset.Update
      ehUpdate:
        Dim r As rdoError
        For Each r In rdoErrors
          Debug.Print "ehUpdate: ", r.Number, r.Description
        Next r
        rdoErrors.Clear
        Resume Next
      End Sub
   
      Private Sub MSRDC1_Error(ByVal Number As Long, _
        Description As String, ByVal Scode As Long, _
        ByVal Source As String, ByVal HelpFile As String, _
        ByVal HelpContext As Long, CancelDisplay As Boolean)
        Select Case Number
          Case 56524  '"No current row" error
            ' proper error handling
          Case Else
            ' other error handling
        End Select
        Debug.Print "MSRDC1_Error: ", Number, Description
        CancelDisplay = True   ' don't display default error handling
      End Sub
   
   						

8. From the Run menu, choose Start (ALT, R, S) or press F5 to start the application.
9. If the Debug window is not visible, Press CTRL+G to make it visible, then arrange it with your form1 so you can see both of them at the same time.
10. Click Command1 to execute the Edit method, change some data in one or more of the bound Text Boxes, then click Command2 to execute the Update method. The data will be saved back to the table correctly but you will receive the following three errors from the error handling of the above code:
    MSRDC1_Error: 56524 No current row
    
    
    ehUpdate: 0 21S02: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Degree of derived table does not match column list
    
    
    ehUpdate: 40009 No current row
    Note: The errors received will vary depending on your environment so it is important for you to trap for any valid errors and handle them appropriately. An example of a valid error is one that would be encountered because of duplicate keys in a primary, unique index or the absence of data in a field created with the NOT NULL attribute.
