Catastrophic Failure on Access VB ADO UPDATE

I have an Access database with tables linked to SQL Server. I'm using Access as a front-end for forms with Visual Basic.

Using an ADODB connection, I am getting an error executing an UPDATE SQL statement. The error is:
Run-time error '-2147418113 (8000ffff)':
Catastrophic failure

The weird thing is, if I hit "Continue" on the debugger, the code executes the UPDATE (verified in the DB) and continues on as expected.

Code is below. Printing the contents of stSQL immediately before the error produces the following in the Immediate window:
UPDATE tblInvestment SET FundID = 1, ClassID = 7, SeriesID = 83, InitialLiquidityID = 1, MaintLiquidityID = 1, MaintLiquidityOffset = 0, LiquidityGate = 0.75, RedNoticeMths = 1, InvestmentDate = '8/1/2008', OFACInd = -1, FATFInd = False, ModDate = '6/12/2008 9:08:30 AM', ModUser = 'userone' WHERE InvestorID = 884

Any help will be much appreciated.

Dim dblocal As ADODB.Connection
    Dim rst As ADODB.Recordset
    Dim stSQL As String
 
    Set dblocal = CurrentProject.Connection
    Set rst = New ADODB.Recordset
 
                stSQL = ""
                stSQL = "SELECT InvestmentID FROM tblInvestment WHERE InvestorID = " & cboInvestor.Value & " AND FundID = " & cboFund.Value
                stSQL = stSQL & " AND ClassID = " & cboClass.Value & " AND SeriesID = " & cboSeries.Value
                rst.Open stSQL, dblocal, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic
                
                If rst.BOF = False Or rst.EOF = False Then
                    If txtInvestmentID.Value > 0 Then 
                    Else 
                        txtInvestmentID.Value = rst.Fields("InvestmentID")

From the research I have done, I would suggest it is either bad/corrupt jet (OLEDB or ODBC) provider files or something in the way you are opening the connection object.

The file problem might be solved by reinstalling the files from here:

Or you could let me take a look at how you're opening your connection object.

Is this the connection object info you're looking for?

?CurrentProject.Connection.ConnectionString
Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;User ID=Admin;Data Source=C:\Dev_DB.mdb;Mode=Share Deny None;Extended Properties="";Jet OLEDB:System database=C:\UserAppData\user\Microsoft\Access\System.mdw;Jet OLEDB:Registry Path=Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Access\Jet\4.0;Jet OLEDB:Database Password="";Jet OLEDB:Engine Type=5;Jet OLEDB:Database Locking Mode=1;Jet OLEDB:Global Partial Bulk Ops=2;Jet OLEDB:Global Bulk Transactions=1;Jet OLEDB:New Database Password="";Jet OLEDB:Create System Database=False;Jet OLEDB:Encrypt Database=False;Jet OLEDB:Don't Copy Locale on Compact=False;Jet OLEDB:Compact Without Replica Repair=False;Jet OLEDB:SFP=False

Clif

Yes, that would be it.

Let me do some reserch and see if there's an invalid flag.

Great. Thanks!

Ok, I'm sorry to say this is the bext I could come up with...

Please check out the response by Allen Browne (right after the initial post). Perhaps it can be of help.

I will try out some of the suggestions in that link.

Since everything seems to work if I hit continue, is there a way to catch the error and re-execute that one line as a work-around? Kind of like "On Error Resume", but just for the one dblocal.Execute command instead of the entire procedure. Try...Catch is up the alley I'm thinking about, but VB6 doesn't seem to support it.

Clif

Well, I suppose you could do something like this:

Err_Loop:
dblocal.Execute stSQL
On Error Goto Err_Loop

At least that would be very simple. I would certainly add a counter so it would not go into an endless loop, and test for Err.Number = 0 Or Err.Number = -2147418113 to make sure it's only the odd error that gets through. Anything else you can think of to make sure that the kluge doesn't go off the deep end.

Love the idea, but its not catching the error. See updated code below, but still geting the catastrophic failure.

Immediate window shows ErrCounter = 0 at the time of the error, leading me to believe the GoTo Err_Loop didn't work.

Tried "On Error GoTo Err_Loop" in both the location below and directly after the "End If" at the end of the code with the same results.

Dim dblocal As ADODB.Connection
    Dim rst As ADODB.Recordset
    Dim stSQL As String
    Dim ErrCounter As Integer ' <------------- New Line
 
    Set dblocal = CurrentProject.Connection
    Set rst = New ADODB.Recordset
 
    ErrCounter = 0 ' <------------- New Line
 
 
                stSQL = ""
                stSQL = "SELECT InvestmentID FROM tblInvestment WHERE InvestorID = " & cboInvestor.Value & " AND FundID = " & cboFund.Value
                stSQL = stSQL & " AND ClassID = " & cboClass.Value & " AND SeriesID = " & cboSeries.Value
                rst.Open stSQL, dblocal, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic
                
                If rst.BOF = False Or rst.EOF = False Then
                    If txtInvestmentID.Value > 0 Then 
                    Else 
                        txtInvestmentID.Value = rst.Fields("InvestmentID")
                    End If
                    
                    rst.Close
                    
                    stSQL = ""
                    stSQL = "UPDATE tblInvestment SET FundID = " & cboFund.Value & ", ClassID = " & cboClass.Value & ", SeriesID = " & cboSeries.Value
                    stSQL = stSQL & ", InitialLiquidityID = " & cboInitLiq.Value & ", MaintLiquidityID = " & cboMaintLiq.Value & ", MaintLiquidityOffset = "
                    stSQL = stSQL & txtLiqOffset & ", LiquidityGate = " & txtLiqGate.Value & ", RedNoticeMths = " & txtNoticeMnths.Value

                    On Error GoTo Err_Loop
 
Err_Loop:
                    If ErrCounter < 3 And (Err.Number = 0 Or Err.Number = -2147418113) Then 'Catch Catastrophic Failure
                        dblocal.Execute stSQL  ' <------------------- Catastrophic Failure still happens here, ErrCounter = 0
                        If ErrCounter > 0 Then
                            MsgBox ("Catastrophic Error Occured") 'Debugging, let me know error happened, entered loop
                        End If
                        ErrCounter = ErrCounter + 1
                    End If
 
 
' Code continues with else condition, etc.
