I am sorry - i am using the following code to just test:

Private Sub cmdConnect_Click()
Dim cn As New rdoConnection
Dim qry As New rdoQuery
Dim rs As rdoResultset
dim wStr as String

cn.CursorDriver = rdUseOdbc
cn.Connect = "uid=r183;pwd=Test4351;server=172.4.34.2;driver={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};database=SDesk;dsn=KACE;"

cn.EstablishConnection

With qry
      .Name = "queryName"
      .SQL = "select * from HD_CATEGORY"
      .RowsetSize = 1
      Set .ActiveConnection = cn
      Set rs = .OpenResultset(rdOpenKeyset, rdConcurRowVer)
End With

loop through the record set processing the
records and fields.
Do Until rs.EOF
      With rs
       wStr = rs!CATEGORY
msgbox wStr
       rs.MoveNext
      End With
Loop
rs.Close
cn.Close
End Sub

Not many RDO applications about - I've never used it.

There's nothing obvious, but I doubt that it is a references problem. That you give you a different error.

Which line does it fail on?

GrahamSkan

FYI, the reference that you need is for the Microsoft Remote Data Object. If it were missing you would get a 'User-defined type not defined' error.

It's late afternoon here but I am beginning to droop, too.

On the code that you posted you only need the VBA and the RDO libraries.

Note that it would be useful to know where the error is raised.

Sorry, I can't reproduce the problem. It works OK for me, so I guess that there is something wrong somewhere with your support files (DLLs, etc).

There is some more detailed advice and a fix programme at Wiki Errors, here:

Thanks Graham. I managed a workaround using ADO . The site you sent me has given me more tings to research.

GrahamSkan

I wise move to use ADO. It doesn't have or need a CursorDrver property.

I would have suggested it, but most questioners don't like to be advised to do something completely different, and for all I knew you have thousands of lines in RDO.

I want to give Graham the points since he gave me a research direction. This error is clearly system dependent.

Thanks I am sorry for the confusion
