I didn't understand you previous comment until in debug I caught it.

Thanks David.

Question: I have several "Tables" in the database that hopefully will point me to data contained in other tables that are not presently linked in the RecordSet. For example: Table "RecipeData" is not linked in the RecordSet (I didn't select it when I selected the Tables) can I still do this:   CString str = m_pSet->[RecordDate].Recipe;

Yes, you can reference whatever tables you want in the GetDefaultSQL() method. Make sure that the fields in the query match the order of the associated variables in the DoFieldExchange() method.

I tried to write to the DB and I get an error "The RecordSet is read only." How do I change that?

If your query is joining multiple tables, it cannot be updated (i.e., read-only).

So how do I update, ie Read, Write or delete an individual table's record. Do I have to create a DSN for each table or what?

Yes. Those tables should all be linked together via a primary/foreign key.

Larry Mills Sr wrote:

No, but you may end up with several recordset classes.

David,
I don't understand your response. The tables are all loaded, but I cannot write or delete any records in them. How exactly do I write to one of the tables to add a new record? How dom I set CanUpdate() and CanAppend() to TRUE.
Nowhere in the Wizzard supplied Recordset class is there an "Open(....)" statement so I can change anything, so just how do I get to write tothe database?

Make sure the DSN, the CDatabase object, and the CRecordset object are all opened correctly (i.e., non read-only).

Larry Mills Sr wrote:

Use the CRecordset::AddNew() followed by CRecordset::Update().

See here.

While it does not do any updating, you might check out this[^] article.

David, that's what I'm trying to found out how to do!

All I've done since the the Wizard create the Recordset class is compile the program, which did so correctly. Am I supposed to do a database "Open(....) statement somewhere. I didn't see that in your I "Invoice" program anywhere.

I simply don't know what to do at this point.
Help please!

It's not necessary since CRecordset also has an Open() method.

David, I don't do any SQL statements. I'm supposing the recordset is initialized properly on execution. It does read fine(the data is in the varables. But it will NOT allow me to write a record to the database. I did this:
BOOL B = m_pSet->CanAppend(); and BOOL f = m_pSet->CanUpdate(); and both show "0" values.
I don't know how to make it "CRecordset::none" which is supposed to make it writable, but it doesn't. Another thing, in using Windows Explorer I right click on the folder and the "Read Only" box is filled in; I clear it and click the applly button, I select the apply to subfolders and files and click "OK" and no activity is shown I click "OK" and immediately click on property again and "Read Only" is again filled in. I go through the same thing again with the same results. I am the only User of this computer and all listed Users(ie, SYSTEM, Administrator, User all have "Full Control" security selected. What gives?

In your CRecordset-dervied class, what does the GetDefaultSQL() method look like?

Are you using a DSN? If so, have you checked it for any "read only" properties?

Are you calling CDatabase::Open()? If so, what is the third argument being sent to it?

Here's the code:

CString CMyDB::GetDefaultConnect()
{
     return _T("DBQ=C:\\CookIt\\Program\\DataBases\\DB\\CookIt.mdb;DefaultDir=C:\\CookIt\\Program\\DataBases\\DB;Driver={Driver do Microsoft Access (*.mdb)};DriverId=25;FIL=MS Access;FILEDSN=C:\\CookIt\\Program\\DataBases\\DB\\CookIt.mdb.dsn;MaxBufferSize=2048;MaxScanRows=8;PageTimeout=5;SafeTransactions=0;Threads=3;UID=admin;UserCommitSync=Yes;");
}

CString CMyDB::GetDefaultSQL()
{
     return _T("[ApeData],[BreadData],[CakeData],[CandyData],[CookieData],[DrinkData],[FruitData],[MeatData],[PastryData],[PieData],[PudData],[Recipe],[SaladData],[SauceData],[SelRecipe],[SoupData],[Special2Pg1],[Special2Pg2],[Special2Pg3],[Special2Pg4],[Special2Pg5],[Special2Pg7],[SpecialPg1],[SpecialPg2],[SpecialPg3],[SpecialPg4],[SpecialPg5],[SpecialPg6],[SpecialPg7],[VegData]");
}

Here's some more code:

void CCookItDBView::OnInitialUpdate()
     {
     m_pSet = &GetDocument()->m_CookItDBSet;

     m_pSet->Open(CRecordset::dynaset,0,CRecordset::none );
     BOOL B = m_pSet->CanAppend();
     BOOL e = m_pSet->CanUpdate();
            }

Yes I am using DSN and no I don't use a CDatabase object(because I don't know how)

I don't know whaqt to put in the Cdatabase.Open(...,...,...) statement.
I checked carefully when I did the "add class" and OBDC dialog and the "Read Only" box was left unselected as was the "Execute" box

}

This looks odd. Mine always have the form:

return _T("ODBC;DSN=Gymnastics");

All of those other values (e.g., database, sizes) are defined in the DSN itself.

In my CDocument class, I have a CDatabase object. Anytime I need access to it, I use:

CDatabase *CMyDoc::GetDatabase( void )
{
    if (! m_rDatabase.IsOpen())
        m_rDatabase.Open(NULL, NULL, FALSE, _T("ODBC;DSN=Gymnastics"));
  
    return (&m_rDatabase);
}

When I want to add to a table, I use:

CMyRecordset set;
set.m_pDatabase = GetDocument()->GetDatabase();
  
TRY
{
    set.Open();
    set.AddNew();
    ...
    set.Update();
    set.Close();
}
CATCH(CDBException, pDBException)
{
    AfxMessageBox(pDBException->m_strError);
}
END_CATCH

I copied that stuff from my program. That's the stuff the wizard produced. I am using VS2008 completely updated.
the MS Access database is called "CookIt.mdb" and with the DSN iit is now "CookIt.mdb.dsn" Is this normal? Now, you state you have a CDatabase in Documents. Do I declare it in the Header? and how do I get the CRecordset m_pSet set to that database? I may be asking this wrong.

The wizard created a CRecordset class called MyDB(I renamed it). How does the database you created in CMyDoc use the recordset that the wizard created?

You wrote: m_rDatabase.Open(NULL, NULL, FALSE, _T("ODBC;DSN=Gymnastics"));

so if I used your code would mine be: m_rDatabase.Open(NULL, NULL, FALSE, _T("ODBC;DSN=CookIt")); Is this right?

Yes, just like you would any other member variable.

The constructor.

I used your code and it says:
m_rDatabase.Open(NULL, NULL, FALSE, _T("ODBC;DSN=CookIt.mdb.dsn"));
"file not found"
if change it to:
m_rDatabase.Open(NULL, NULL, FALSE, _T("ODBC;DSN=c:\\CookIt\\Program\\DataBases\\DB\\CookIt.mdb.dsn"));
and it gave error: "Data Source name toog long and not found"

I finally put the original under GetDefaultConnect(). Id gave an error of "ODBC does not support dynsets"
the database was created as 2003 and I used the driver 6.001 which is supposed to work on either dynasets or snapshots? any ideas?

I re-created the Recordset this time I selected "snapshot".
Now it says "Recordset is read Only"? I don;t understand this!

What name did you give the DSN when you created it?

You get there using either

Start --> Administrative Tools --> Data Sources (ODBC)

Or by typing odbccp32.cpl in the Run box.

Yes, or you can do it via CDatabase::ExecuteSQL().

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
