SYMPTOMS
Page 256 of the Microsoft Access version 2.0 "Building Applications" manual contains an example of using the FindFirst and FindNext methods to locate all records satisfying a particular criterion. However, if you re-create and run this example, you will receive the following error message:
CAUSE
This error occurs because the example contains an error. The example uses the OpenRecordset method to open the Employees table as a table-type Recordset object, but the FindFirst method is not available with table-type Recordset objects.
RESOLUTION
Change the line in the example that reads
Set MySet=MyDB.OpenRecordset("Employees")
to the following line:
Set MySet=MyDB.OpenRecordset("Employees",DB_OPEN_DYNASET)
STATUS
This behavior no longer occurs in Microsoft Access version 7.0.
REFERENCES
