Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. On a test computer that is running Windows 95 OSR2 Spanish with Visual Basic 6.0 Spanish installed, install the SQL Server 7.0 Client (Spanish) and Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2.1 Service Pack 1 (SP1).
  2. Create a new Standard EXE project in Visual Basic 6.0. Form1 is created by default.
  3. From the Project menu, click References, and then click Microsoft DAO 3.0 Object Library.
  4. Add a CommandButton (Command1) to Form1.
  5. Paste the following code in the declarations section of Form1:
    Option Explicit

Dim spcodbc As Workspace
Dim mibd As Database
Dim strSQL As String
Dim rsCount As Recordset
Dim rs As Recordset

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Set spcodbc = Workspaces(0)
Set mibd = spcodbc.OpenDatabase("D:\VB5\NWind.mdb")
strSQL = "Select * From Categories"

Set rsCount = mibd.OpenRecordset(strSQL, dbOpenSnapshot)
Text1.Text = rsCount.RecordCount

Set rs = rsCount.OpenRecordset(dbOpenSnapshot)

End Sub
  6. Run the program, and click the CommandButton on Form1. Notice that a General Protection Fault occurs when you click the CommandButton.
