DOCUMENT:Q175868 27-FEB-2000 [vbwin] TITLE :BUG: T-SQL Debugger Does Not Run on NT with User Account PRODUCT :Microsoft Visual Basic for Windows PROD/VER:WINDOWS:5.0,6.0 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbVBp500 kbVBp600 kbGrpDSVBDB ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Visual Basic Enterprise Edition for Windows, versions 5.0, 6.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== T-SQL Debugger causes the following error when a stored procedure is called if the Visual Basic 5.0 application is being run on an NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 machine where the login was to a User Account: "You must have Privledges to modify the registry" NOTE: The word "Privileges" is misspelled in the error message. Visual Basic will hang when the application is ended and the task manager must be invoked to shut it down. RESOLUTION ========== Use an login account that has administrator rights. STATUS ====== This is by design. MORE INFORMATION ================ Steps to Reproduce Behavior --------------------------- 1. Login into an NT or Windows 2000 server with administrator privileges. 2. Create a stored procedure on Sqlserver 6.5 by running the following code in ISQL/W: CREATE PROCEDURE findstate @whichstate char(2) as select * from authors where state= @whichstate 3. Create a Visual Basic Project and check "Microsoft Remote Data Object 2.0" under Project References. 4. Under Add-Ins Manager, check Visual Basic T-SQL Debugger. Under Tools, T_SQL Debugging Option make sure both check boxes are checked. See references mentioned below for setting up T-SQL Debugger. 5. Place two CommandButtons on the form. Paste the following code in the form: Option Explicit Dim cn As rdoConnection Dim qy As rdoQuery Dim rs As rdoResultset Dim strConnect As String Dim n As Integer Private Sub Command2_Click() rs.Close Set rs = Nothing unload me End Sub Private Sub Command1_Click() strConnect = "driver={SQL Server};server=servername;" & _ "database=pubs;uid=sa;pwd=" rdoEnvironments(0).CursorDriver = rdUseOdbc Set cn = rdoEnvironments(0).OpenConnection( _ dsName:="", _ Prompt:=rdDriverNoPrompt, _ ReadOnly:=False, _ Connect:=strConnect) Set qy = cn.CreateQuery("sql", _ "{call pubs.dbo.findstate(?) }") qy.RowsetSize = 1 qy.rdoParameters(0) = "CA" Set rs = qy.OpenResultset( _ Type:=rdOpenForwardOnly, _ LockType:=rdConcurReadOnly) While Not rs.EOF debug.print rs(0) & ", " & rs(1) rs.MoveNext Wend End Sub 6. Place a break point on the procedure call line. 7. Run the code and T-SQL debugger should come up. 8. Press the F5 key and it should continue. 9. Close Visual Basic and restart NT. Login to User Account. 10. Open the same project making sure T-SQL debugger is activated. 11. Run the application and the error will appear.
