ACC: New SQL Records Appear Deleted Until Recordset Reopened

This article was previously published under Q135379

On This Page

SYMPTOMS

Advanced: Requires expert coding, interoperability, and multiuser skills.

When you add a record to an SQL table by using Visual Basic for Applications, if the table's unique index field has a default value, and you do not assign a value to that field, the new record appears deleted until you reopen the SQL table. If you try to obtain a value from the new record, you receive the following error message:
Run-time error '3167'
Record is deleted.

RESOLUTION

When you open the SQL table by using Visual Basic code, include the dbSeeChanges option, as in the following example:
   Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("TestTable", dbOpenDynaset, dbSeeChanges)
				

The dbSeeChanges option ensures that any newly added records that contain a default value in the unique index field are available in the current recordset.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior


  1. Create a module and type the following line in the Declarations section if it is not already there:
          Option Explicit
    						
  2. Type the following procedure:
          Function TestSQLData()
    
             Dim db As Database, rs As Recordset
             Dim idx, td
             Dim cmd As String
    
             ' Delete TestTable if it exists on the SQL server.
             Set db = OpenDatabase("", False, False,ODBC;dsn=<datasource>; _
                database=<database>;uid=<user id>;pwd=<password>")
             cmd = "if exists (select * from sysobjects where _
                id = object_id('dbo.TestTable'))"
             cmd = cmd & " drop table TestTable"
             db.Execute cmd, dbSQLPassThrough
    
             ' Create TestTable with one field on SQL server.
             Set td = db.CreateTableDef("TestTable")
             td.Fields.Append td.CreateField("Int", dbInteger)
             td.Fields.Append td.CreateField("String", dbText, 50)
             db.TableDefs.Append td
    
             Set idx = td.CreateIndex("MyIdx")
             idx.Unique = True
             idx.Fields.Append idx.CreateField("Int")
             td.Indexes.Append idx
    
             cmd = "create Default TestDef3 as 100"
             db.Execute cmd, dbSQLPassThrough
    
             cmd = "sp_bindefault TestDef3, 'TestTable.Int'"
             db.Execute cmd, dbSQLPassThrough
    
             ' Open table, add a record, and then obtain values.
             Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("TestTable")
             rs.AddNew
             rs!String = "Trial"
             rs.Update
    
             Debug.Print "RecordCount = " & rs.RecordCount
             rs.MoveFirst
             Debug.Print "String is " & rs("String")
             Debug.Print "Int is " & rs("Int")
             rs.Close
    
          End Function
    						
  3. To test this function, type the following line in the Debug window, and then press ENTER:

    ? TestSQLData()

    Note that run-time error '3167' occurs.
