PRB: Charset Property of ADO Stream Object May Require Microsoft Internet Explorer Upgrade
This article was previously published under Q313831
The
Charset property of the ADO
Stream object, which specifies the character set that the
Stream object will use to store its data, depends on a section of the registry that may not be present on servers and workstations that are running earlier versions of Internet Explorer, such as Internet Explorer 2.0.
If you try to set the
Charset property under these circumstances, you may receive the following error message:
Object or property is not capable of performing the requested operation.
This behavior occurs because the
Charset property of the
Stream object depends on the list of available character sets that are under the following key in the registry:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Charset
To resolve this behavior, if the
Charset list is missing from the registry, you need to install it by installing a recent version of Internet Explorer, such as Internet Explorer 5.0 or later.
This behavior is by design.
For additional information about the
Charset property of the ADO
Stream object, please refer to the following Microsoft Web site for the MDAC online documentation:
For additional references, refer to
Programming ADO, p. 150, by David Sceppa, Microsoft Press 2000.

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.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
