Is he connecting with the old ODBC driver, or an out of date ADO, and this table has varbinary or new field type in it?
Tracy -----Original Message----- From: MB Software Solutions General Account Sent: Thursday, April 16, 2009 4:36 PM MS Visual Studio Server Explorer VFP9SP1 free tables Vendor is claiming the following: --------------------------------------- I am getting the following error wile reading the table : The provider could not determine the Decimal value. For example, the row was just created, the default for the Decimal column was not available, and the consumer had not yet set a new Decimal value. for: SELECT * FROM erl_sub WHERE (createdate >= {^2009-01-16}) ORDER BY idnum ASC When I open the erl_sub in MS Visual Studio using the Server Explorer it gives me unable to read binary data for the records below. I have seen this error before when the value in the field was out of boundary (e.g. putting 999 in decimal(2,0)) --------------------------------------- I told him that he shouldn't get an error on SELECT, but he verified that it's indeed when he does a select. I'm wondering if one of the fields has an overflow (***) condition? Other ideas? tia! _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/000d01c9bed5$4de40370$e9ac0a...@com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
