MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce

  1. In Microsoft Visual Basic 5.0 or 6.0, open a new Standard EXE project. Form1 is created by default.
  2. On the Project menu, select References, and add a reference to the Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.x Library.
  3. Place the following code in the Form1 Code module:
    Dim rs As New ADODB.Recordset
    Dim cn As New ADODB.Connection
    
    With cn
    .ConnectionString = "Provider=SqlOledb;Data Source=<server_name>;Initial Catalog=Northwind;User id=<uid>;Password=<pwd>;"
    .Open
    End With
    
    cn.Execute "update employees set Lastname = 'Davolio''' where EmployeeID = 1"
    
    With rs
    .CursorLocation = adUseClient
    .LockType = adLockBatchOptimistic
    .CursorType = adOpenStatic
    .ActiveConnection = cn
    .Open "select * from employees"
    End With
    
    rs.Filter = "Lastname = 'Davolio'''"
    Debug.Print rs.RecordCount
    Debug.Print rs(1)
    
    cn.Execute "update employees set Lastname = 'O''Davolio''' where Employeeid = 1"
    
    rs.requery
    rs.Filter = "author = 'O''Davolio'''" 'Error Occurs Here
    Debug.Print rs.RecordCount
    Debug.Print rs(1)
    					
  4. Run the project. You receive the following error message:
    Run-time Error '3001' Arguments are of the wrong type, are out of acceptable range, or are in conflict with one another.
    or, under MDAC 2.6, you receive the following error message:
    Run-time Error '-2147024809 (80070057)': The parameter is incorrect.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.
