Question

DoCmd.OpenStoredProcedure can't find the object

Asked by: miral13

In an Access database project form I have this little piece of code

            DoCmd.SetWarnings False
            DoCmd.Close acForm, "View_Edit_Tree"
            DoCmd.SetWarnings True
            DoEvents
            DoCmd.OpenStoredProcedure "dbo.sp_Search_All"
            DoCmd.Maximize

And at runtime the following error is returned "can't find the object 'dbo.sp_Search_All' ", error number 7874

The stored procedure exists in the database and expects one parameter.

Can you tell me why it doesn't see/execute it?
Thank you

I'm not sure you can pass parameters with the DoCmd method ... but I don't know, as I've never opened SPs in this manner. I typically use a simple Recordset object, or a Command object:

Dim cmd As ADODB.Command

Set cmd = New ADODB.Command

With cmd
  Set .ActiveConnection = CurrentProject.Connection
  .CommandText = "dbo.sp_SearchAll"
  .CommandType = adCmdStoredProc
  .Parameters.Refresh
  .Parameters(0).Value = "Your Value Here"
  .Execute
  Set .ActiveConnection = Nothing
End With

Set cmd = Nothing

Maybe the owner of the stored procedure is not dbo?

The recommended method is to create a form with the stored procedure as record source. Same with openview, opentable etc.

miral13,

You failed to respond to 2 Expert comments, either of which provided alternatives to your current issue (and vadimrapp1's comment was most likely your answer).

Did you solve this issue? If so, then please post your solution.

Did you attempt to close this question so that you could avoid the account lockout policy in regards to abandoned questions? I see that you've posted a new question just today.

The issue was solved by refreshing the view.

 

by: miral13Posted on 2009-10-06 at 05:45:45ID: 25504341

The stored procedure in the code above was calling a view. After the view was refreshed everything worked. I hope it is clear.

 

by: acperkinsPosted on 2009-10-06 at 16:45:07ID: 25511035

>> After the view was refreshed everything worked.<<
Could explain how the VIEW was "refreshed"?  You can re-compile a Stored Procedure, but I have never heard of refreshing a VIEW, at least in the context you describe.

He refreshed the database view in Access, so Access learned about new view that was created outside of it in the database.

Sometimes people resolve their own questions by hitting F5, scrolling down the page to see what was down there, restarting the computer, etc. - works better than all us experts combined, once they finally get themselves together to do it (after posting the question and having some discussion).

 

by: miral13Posted on 2009-10-07 at 00:14:53ID: 25512766

The ADP project was connecting to a SQL Server database.
The stored procedure from the code above was referencing a view.
The view was refreshed with sp_refreshview and after that Access was able to find the stored procedure also.
I hope it makes more sense now.

<works better than all us experts combined>

How true!

miral13, glad you reached a solution but in the future please post a short comment if you're deleteing your question, and please respond to Expert comments, even if it's to say that you've solved the issue.

IMO you should PAQ this question by accepting your own answer here: http:#25512766. This would be something that someone else might be able to use one day. If you PAQ and accept your own comment, your points will be refunded to you.

If you'd like to do that, then click the Object button, and then choose your own solution as the Answer and enter something like "found my own solution" in the Reason. This will close out the question in a few days, and keep that question in the PAQ.
