FP2000: Unknown Field Error When Viewing Page With Database Region

• Microsoft FrontPage 2000

SYMPTOMS

When you browse to a page containing a database region, you see the following message displayed in the browser:

   Database Results Error: 
   Description: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access 97 Driver] The INSERT
   INTO statement contains the following unknown field name: 'Field1'. Make
   sure you've typed the name correctly, and try the operation again.
   Number: -2147217900 (0x80040E14)<BR/>

CAUSE

This behavior occurs when the field name you specified in the INSERT INTO statement does not exist in the database being queried. This often happens if you have mistyped the query.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this behavior, you must specify the correct field name in the INSERT INTO statement. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Determine the correct field name in your database.
   
   
   1. Start Microsoft Access and open your database.
   
   
   
   2. Select the table you are querying, and then click Design View.
   
   
   
   3. Note the name of the field you would like to query. The field name appears in the Field Name column.
   
   
   
   4. On the File menu, click Exit.
   
   
   



2. Start or switch to FrontPage, and then open the page that contains the database region.



3. Right-click any of the column values in your database region and then click Database Results Properties on the menu that appears.



4. Click Next.



5. Click Edit.



6. In the INSERT INTO statement, type the name of the field you noted in step 1.
   
   For example, if the field name is Field1, type your query similar to the following:

   
   INSERT INTO TableName (Field1) Values ('::Field1::') 

   NOTE: Your query may be different depending on the name of your table and the number of fields you are querying.



7. Click OK.



8. Click Next three times.



9. Click Finish.



10. On the File menu, click Save.
