BUG: Reserved Error when Entering Certain Valid SQL Statements

• Microsoft Visual InterDev, version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

When using the DataForm wizard and selecting a SQL statement as a recordset type in step 2, if you enter a statement that selects more than two fields with the same name, either from a view or by multiple table selection, the DataForm wizard prompts a reserved error.

CAUSE

The problem is with the error handling in the wizard framework.

RESOLUTION

The workaround for this problem is to alias the second occurrence of the duplicate field names within the SQL statement. For example, "select authors.city, stores.city town from authors, stores" works, but the SQL statement below does not.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this bug and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
