The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Type Mismatch on VBA Function That Returns ADO Recordset at Exit Function or End Function

Asked by pique_tech in Microsoft Access Database

Tags: vba, mismatch, function, recordset, type

This doesn't seem like it should be difficult.  I want to return an ADO recordset from a function in VBA (as opposed to VB.net).  Here's the code I've used:

Public Function GetRS(NameOfTable As String) As ADODB.Recordset
On Error GoTo HandleError

    Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
   
    Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
   
    rs.Open NameOfTable, CurrentProject.Connection, adOpenStatic, adLockReadOnly, adCmdTableDirect
   
    'debugging code
    Do
        Debug.Print rs(0)
        rs.MoveNext
    Loop Until rs.EOF
    'end debugging code

    Set GetRS = rs
   
    'rs.Close
    Set rs = Nothing
   
ExitHere:
    Exit Function
   
HandleError:
    MsgBox Err.Number & ": " & Err.Description
    Resume ExitHere
   
End Function

Interestingly, the error handler never fires.  If I debug/single-step through the code, the error occurs on Exit Function (and it was on End Function before I added the error handler).  The debugging code dutifully prints out the first field in the table.  

WHAT INCREDIBLY SIMPLE THING AM I OVERLOOKING?!   Thanks in advance.
