ADO Sort Property

G

Guest

I have the following sample code which returns a run-time error 3251.

Private Sub btnMain_Click()
Dim rst1 As Recordset

Set rst1 = New ADODB.Recordset
rst1.CursorType = adOpenKeyset
rst1.LockType = adLockOptimistic
rst1.CursorLocation = adUseServer

rst1.Open "tblMain", CurrentProject.Connection
rst1.Sort = "KEY ASC"

rst1.Close
Set rst1 = Nothing
End Sub

The problem is with the Sort Property applied to the recordset object.

Any help greatly appreicated.

Thanks heaps

To enable sorting, the cursor location must be adUseClient.

Even when specifying the recordset cursor location to
adUseClient, you may still have a problem as you are using
the CurrentProject connection object (as its CursorLocation
is adUseServer). If so, you will have to declare a
connection object, set it to CurrentProject.Connection,
then change its CursorLocation to adUseClient.

Hope This Helps
