SYMPTOMS

If you preview an Active Server Pages (ASP) page in your Web browser, you receive an error message similar to the following:
Microsoft JScript runtime error '800a1391'

'Recordset1' is undefined

/project/default.asp, line 27
This occurs after you do the following:
  1. You create the ASP page in a Microsoft Visual InterDev project.
  2. You add Recordset and Grid Design-Time Controls.
  3. You open the page in FrontPage and save it again.

CAUSE

When you use FrontPage to open an ASP page that was created in Visual InterDev with embedded Recordset and Grid Design-Time Controls, FrontPage removes the server-side ASP code for these Design-Time Controls, therefore breaking their functionality.

WORKAROUND

To work around this issue, use one of the following methods.

Method 1

Do not use FrontPage to edit pages that were created in Visual InterDev with Recordset and Grid Design-Time Controls.

Method 2

Turn off the ability of FrontPage to modify the properties of the Design-Time Controls by modifying the registry.

WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

To turn off these Design-Time Controls in FrontPage, follow these steps:
  1. Close all instances of FrontPage.
  2. Open Windows Notepad.
  3. Type or paste the following text into Notepad:
    REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\FrontPage\Editor\NewOpaqueControls\{9CF5D7C2-EC10-11D0-9862-0000F8027CA0}]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\FrontPage\Editor\NewOpaqueControls\{277FC3F2-E90F-11D0-B767-0000F81E081D}]
  4. Save the file to your desktop as DisableDTCs.reg.
  5. Close Notepad.
  6. Double-click the DisableDTCs.reg file on your desktop.
  7. Click Yes if you are prompted to add the information to the registry.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
