SYMPTOMS
RecomputeRepository returns an error if it is run against a database created by the UML.DLL.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This has been fixed with in Visual Studio Service Pack 1.

For additional information about the Visual Studio 97 Service Pack 1, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

170365 INFO: Visual Studio 97 Service Packs - What, Where, and Why



MORE INFORMATION
The engine has changed get_item for collections starting in Visual Studio Service Pack 1 so that items can only be retrieved using OBJID's, names and indexes. Previously the Repository allowed initids to be used. ReComputeRepository previously depended on this functionality. Now, the ReComputeRepository function uses OBJID's to get items.

Steps to Reproduce Problem
 Start a new Standard EXE project. Add MODULE1.BAS.  Type the following code into MODULE1.BAS: Declare Function ReComputeRepository Lib "RepUtil" (ByVal szPath _     As String,  ByVal szUser As String, ByVal szPwd As String) As Long

Sub Main

'change the following path to the windows location for 'your machine

Dim lngRet As Long sPath = "c:\WINDOWS\msapps\repository.mdb" lngRet = RecomputeRepository(sPath,"","") MsgBox "The return value is (" & lngRet & ")!"

End Sub  Run the code.

Results:

The return code is not 0.

Expected:

The return code be 0.
