FIX: Data View Stops After Typing in an Invalid Name

ID: Q190760

The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

In the DataEnvironment (DE) Command property page, if the user types in an incorrect Stored Procedure name, and clicks OK to the property page, the data view will stop working.


CAUSE

This is a problem in the SQL Server 6.5 being unable to handle information requests for non-existent Stored procs.


RESOLUTION

This has been fixed in SQL Server 6.5 (SP 5) and SQL Server 7.0.

The user can work around this by using the refresh command on the DataEnvironment (the node under Global.asa) node in the project Explorer. The user can then relogin to their database, which will cause the data view to start working.


STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.

This bug was corrected in Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 3.
