Never mind.I figured it out. I was using a double quote instead of a single
quote on the Where clause. D'oh!

Subject: VB 6 ADO



Hi,



I need to create a very tiny, very quick VB 6 program to run an experiment
on data access.



I haven't had to write any VB6 ADO stuff for several years so I'm quite
rusty here.



I found a small code sample on the web that will work fine for all I want to
do, but I'm having trouble getting the SELECT to be syntactically correct.
Not sure why.


Can a VB person take a quick peek at this and tell me why the WHERE clause
would be throwing errors?





txtFieldType is defined as maxlength 2 (char). The field in the AS/400
database is also 2 characters.



If I do not use a WHERE clause, it works fine. With a WHERE clause, it
craps out.





Thanks!



Shannon O'Donnell
