DOCUMENT:Q139490 30-JUL-2001 [visualc] TITLE :FIX: Can't Select First Table When Creating DAO Table Recordse PRODUCT :Microsoft C Compiler PROD/VER::4.0 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbwizard kbDAOsearch kbDatabase kbMFC kbVC kbVC410fix ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Visual C++, version 4.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== If you are using AppWizard or ClassWizard to create a table-type recordset derived from CDaoRecordset, you will not be able to successfully select the first table in the list of tables presented. Attempting to do so will result in a dialog box bearing the following message: You must select one table for this table-type recordset. RESOLUTION ========== To work around this problem, follow this procedure: 1. Instead of selecting a Table recordset type in the wizard, use Dynaset. 2. Edit the implementation (.cpp) file of the resulting recordset and search for the member variable m_nDefaultType. Change the type of recordset by modifying the value that is assigned to that member. Change this: m_nDefaultType = dbOpenDynaset; To this: m_nDefaultType = dbOpenTable; 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 C++ 4.1.
