I have a postgresql backend with an access front end and I am trying to redefine the recordset of the form to use an ADO recordset. The problem is that the CursorType always changes to AdOpenStatic, even if I choose adOpenDynamic. If anyone has any thoughts, please let me know. The form works great for viewing, but I cannot update or insert any new records.
Below is the code I am using: connectstr = "DSN=SAP_PG;uid=postgres" Set conn = New ADODB.Connection conn.Open (connectstr) rs.CursorLocation = adUseClient rs.Open "select ProductID,ProductName,ProductTypeID,StockTypeID from Products order by ProductName", conn, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic Set Me.Recordset = rs Me.Requery The conn object contains the following: Provider=MSDASQL.1;Extended Properties="DSN=SAP_PG;DATABASE=sap;SERVER=10.1.1.76;PORT=5432;UID=username; PWD=password;ReadOnly=0;Protocol=6.4;FakeOidIndex=0;ShowOidColumn=0;RowVersi oning=1;ShowSystemTables=0;ConnSettings=;Fetch=100;Socket=4096;UnknownSizes= 0;MaxVarcharSize=4094;MaxLongVarcharSize=4094;Debug=0;CommLog=0;Optimizer=1; Ksqo=1;UseDeclareFetch=0;TextAsLongVarchar=0;UnknownsAsLongVarchar=0;BoolsAs Char=0;Parse=0;CancelAsFreeStmt=0;ExtraSysTablePrefixes=dd_;;LFConversion=1; UpdatableCursors=1;DisallowPremature=0;TrueIsMinus1=0;BI=0;ByteaAsLongVarBin ary=0;UseServerSidePrepare=0" In answer to your upcoming questions: 1) ProductID is the primary key on the table. 2) I do not want to use linked forms, they go much slower then connecting directly through the ADO recordset. 3) I put a breakpoint right after the open statement and checked the value of rs.CursorType and that is when I saw it was adOpenStatic 4) I am using PostGreSQL 8.0beta1 5) ODBC driver 7.03.02.00 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs/FAQ.html
