RE: Access "non-SQL" databases with ADO?

This error message normally means that the fields aren't in the recordset. 

Have you checked the obvious: Is the Recordset at EOF? (i.e. does rsq.EOF =
True) If not, you could put some debug code in place to spit out the field
names returned in the recordset.. just loop through the Fields collection of
the recordset (rsq.Fields property) and output the name using the numeric
index of the field... 
ie 

For x = 0 to rsq.Fields.Count - 1
Response.Write(rsq.Fields(x).Name + " , ")
Next

Note (I think the collection is zero based from memory, I may be wrong..)

That ought to tell you what name you need to use to reference the fields.. 

Regards..

Subject: Access "non-SQL" databases with ADO?


I didn't see anything relevant in the archives...

We're using ASP (not .NET) and ADO to access databases on SQL server.
However, there's also some AS/400 databases we need to access. I've found
that I can use ADO against "SQL-defined" databases on the AS/400, but I
can't query files defined by DDS. DDS defined files get this error:

"Error Type: ADODB.Recordset (0x800A0CC1) Item cannot be found in the
collection corresponding to the requested name or ordinal."

The line receiving this error is:

response.write "<tr><td>" & rsq("name") & "</td><td>" & rsq("company") &
"</td><td>" & rsq("id") & "</td></tr>"

All three fields are character types. It doesn't matter if the field names
are in upper or lower case, I receive the same error.

Any help appreciated, thanks!

Loyd
