Steps to Reproduce Behavior


  1. Save the following code in a text file called RDSBug.asp in the root of the default Web site.
    <%@ Language=VBScript %>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=VBSCRIPT>
    Sub cmdLoad_OnClick
        dim df, rs, oTR
        set df = ds.CreateObject("RDSServer.DataFactory","http://<webserver>")
        set rs = df.Query("DSN=Northwind;","SELECT * FROM Employees;")
        tblMain.deleteRow 
        while not rs.eof
            set oTR = tblMain.insertRow
            for x = 0 to rs.fields.count - 1
                set oCL = oTR.insertCell
                oCL.innerText = rs(x)
            next
            rs.MoveNext
        wend
        rs.close
        set rs = nothing
        set df = nothing
    End Sub
</SCRIPT>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
</HEAD>
<BODY>

<OBJECT id=ds classid="clsid:BD96C556-65A3-11D0-983A-00C04FC29E36" HEIGHT=0 WIDTH=0></OBJECT>
    <TABLE ID=tblMain BORDER=2>
    <TR><TD>The data should load here.</TD></TR>
    </TABLE>
<BR>
<INPUT TYPE=BUTTON VALUE="Click to load some data into the table..." NAME=cmdLoad>

</BODY>
</HTML>
  2. Test your setup by running the page. If the page does not display data correctly, verify that you have the Northwind sample database installed and that the Northwind data source name (DSN) is set up in your ODBC Administrator. (The Northwind database is installed with the Microsoft Visual Basic samples in the VB98 directory as Nwind.mdb.) If the page still does not work correctly, review the following Knowledge Base articles to confirm that your RDS configuration is correct:

  3. After you have confirmed that RDS is configured correctly and the page is working, open the Internet Services Manager, right-click the default Web site and click Properties. Click the Home Directory tab. Select the Run in separate memory space (isolated process) checkbox or, under IIS 5.0 or later, change Application Protection to High (Isolated). Click OK to exit the Properties dialog box.
  4. Open the page again in your browser. The page will return "Unexpected error (0x80070558)".
