Question

VBScript Error Handling failing with ADO BOF/EOF msgs, error 3021 and 3705

Asked by: jiriki76

Howdy folks,

   I'm running a script that queries for a list of server names in a table... (no primary key),  and dumps it into an array.  From that array, it performs another query against the DB, this time looking for records that match a certain criteria (effectively duplicates).  Normal duplicate query functions don't seem to fit the bill, but this solution should work fine, even if its not the most efficient...

   Nonetheless, the script queries for servernames fine, and then calls a function to check for the duplicates of each server returned.  It works fine until it find a record that doesn't have a duplicate, and then it dies out and thats that.  Complete script is at bottom, however this is the section of concern...

   In this function, the first set of data, has a duplicate fouind, so it runs just fine.  When it comes around again, the next record does not have a duplicate, and the query should error out and continue on.  However, it errors out and exits the function, instead of entering the TRUE portion of the If/Then statement.  It does not echo the test statement at the end of the function.  I've used the debugger to verify that err.number = 3021 at that point, but that doesn't explain why its not moving through the IF/Then statement.

    Oddly enough, the error # when the script finally ends, is 3705... Operation is not allowed when the object is open.

Try putting On Error Resume Next inside your function as well.

 

by: jiriki76Posted on 2006-11-21 at 13:00:19ID: 17990511

Turns out...  you were right, but that only fixed the error where it kicked out of the function..

the 3705 error was coming from (and it was easy to see, once i put the on error resume next inside the function)... when no dupes were found (error condition was true), i never closed the recordset out.  I was only closing it when itactually had records.  Hence the issue.

So two parts, but that led me down the right path.  Thanks a million.

The reason is the scope of the error handling.  Having On Error Resume Next outside of your function calls means that as soon as an error happens within your function (where there was no error handling) it jumped out and was handled by your global On Error Resume Next.  By placing it inside the function too, it allowed the function to continue to the next line, as well.
