PRB: MSFlexGrid Doesn't Return All Rows w/UseODBC Data Control

• Microsoft Visual Basic Learning, Professional, and Enterprise Editions for Windows, version 5.0 on the following platforms: NT, Win95

SYMPTOMS

The MSFlexGrid control does not return all rows when bound to a Data control whose DefaultType is UseODBC.

RESOLUTION

All of the following are possible workarounds:

• Change the DefaultType property of the Data control to UseJet.
• Replace the Data control with the Remote Data Control.
• Replace the MSFlexGrid control with the DBGrid control.

STATUS

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

The DefaultType property of the Data control is new to Visual Basic 5.0. It determines what type of data source (Jet or ODBCDirect) to use when creating a Recordset.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Start Visual Basic and create a Standard EXE. Form1 is added by default.

2. Bring up the Components dialog window by selecting the menu item Project/Components. Select "Microsoft FlexGrid Control 5.0" and click OK.

3. Add a MSFlexGrid control (MSFlexGrid1) and a Data control (Data1) to Form1.

4. Set the DefaultType property of Data1 to UseODBC.

5. Set the DataSource property of MSFlexGrid1 to Data1.

6. Add the following lines of code to the Load event of Form1:

         'Replace MY_SERVER with an appropriate SQL pubs database DSN.
         Data1.Connect = "ODBC;DSN=MY_SERVER;UID=SA;PWD="
         Data1.RecordSource = "SELECT * FROM TITLES"
         Data1.Refresh
   

         'Number of rows in the Recordset.
         MsgBox Data1.Recordset.RecordCount
   

         'Number of rows in MSFlexGrid1 excluding the title row.
         MsgBox MSFlexGrid1.Rows - 1
   

7. Press the F5 key to run the project and note the discrepancy in the numbers displayed.
