Question

I have an Access 2003 database with some visual basic code using ADO calls in it. When I do a

strsql0 = \"SELECT lnk_stockitm.C_C FROM lnk_stockitm WHERE ((         


        

Answer 1

You need to use the '%' character as wildcard when using ADO.

Answer 2

The wildcard difference is the cause for difference between what you execute from ADO and within your access database. Convert your statement to use "%" rather than "*". As a general rule of thumb, it may be a good idea to encapsulate your code by checking for eof before calling MoveLast. If your query has zero results it'll bomb out every time.

strsql0 = "SELECT lnk_stockitm.C_C FROM lnk_stockitm WHERE (((lnk_stockitm.C_C) Like 'T*'));"
newRS.Open strsql0, cn1, adOpenKeyset, adLockReadOnly  

if not newRs.eof then
   newRS.movelast
else
  ' do something here if necessary to handle blank results
end if
