TITLE   :PRB: DataGrid Cannot Be Bound to a Non-Bookmarkable Recordset
PRODUCT :Microsoft Visual Basic for Windows

======================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Visual Basic Professional Edition for Windows, version 6.0 
 - Microsoft Visual Basic Enterprise Edition for Windows, version 6.0 
 - ActiveX Data Objects (ADO), versions 2.0, 2.1, 2.1 SP1, 2.1 SP2, 2.5, 2.6 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you attempt to bind an OLEDB DataGrid control to a forward-only or dynamic
ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) recordset, you may receive the following run-time
error message:

   Run-time error '7004': The Rowset is not bookmarkable

CAUSE
=====

You cannot bind the DataGrid control to recordsets that do not support
bookmarks. The forward-only and dynamic ADO recordsets do not support bookmarks,
and therefore cannot be specified as the DataSource for an OLEDB DataGrid
control.

RESOLUTION
==========

Bind the DataGrid to a bookmarkable recordset such as the keyset and static ADO
recordsets.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------

1. In Visual Basic version 6.0, create a new Data project.

2. In the frmDataEnv form, add a DataGrid and a CommandButton control.

3. In the frmDataEnv form module, paste the following code:

NOTE: Supply the required connection parameters to the cn.Open statement to
connect to the SQL Server, and specify a valid table name in the rs.Open
statement.

   'General Declarations Section
   Dim cn As ADODB.Connection
   Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset

   Private Sub Command1_Click()

   Set cn = New ADODB.Connection
   Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset

   cn.Open "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=<<I>SQL Server</I>>;Initial Catalog=<<I>SQL Database</I>>;User Id=<<I>SQL UserId</I>>;Password=<<I>SQL Password</I>>"
   rs.Open "Select * from <<I>TableName</I>>", cn, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic

   Set DataGrid1.DataSource = rs

   End Sub

4. Save and then run the project.

5. When frmDataEnv is displayed, click the command button.

You receive the error specified in the "Symptoms" section of this article.

6. Modify the rs.Open statement in the Command1_Click() event procedure to open
   a keyset or a static ADO recordset. To do this, replace the constant
   adOpenDynamic with adOpenKeyset or adOpenStatic.

7. Save and then run the project.

8. On frmDataEnv, click the command button.

The records in the specified table in the OLEDB DataGrid control are displayed.
