Phantom record using .adp?

[Guest]

I first posted this in Access Database General Questions but then found this
more apporpriate newsgroup, so pls forgive cross-post:

We use MS Dynamics (Great Plains v 8.0) accounting system on SQL Server 2003
and I 've connected an .adp project (MS Access 2003) to the underlying
tables. When I run a simple query using .adp against a single table
(GL20000), the recordset contains an extra line that appears to be a
duplicate of a valid record.

If I repeat the query using SQL Query Analyzer, I get the correct results.
This is bizarre to me and I've not seen any mention of others having similar
problems.

SQL is as follows:

SELECT dbo.GL20000.*
FROM dbo.GL20000
WHERE (JRNENTRY = 46099)

Has anyone experienced this? This is amn adp show-stopper unless it can be
resolved. Thanks in advance.

Without any exemple of data and a description of the schema of the table,
it's hard to tell you which result is right. Also, there is no SQL-Server
2003; only either 2000 or 2005.

Also, by changing the data, make sure that you are connected to the same
database in both cases.

hmmm. I don't know if we can post as HTML table but here's the table schema.
Just forgive alignment issues. Only one key field "DEX_ROW_ID" which is the
last one.

If i run the previous SQL statement via an adp stored procedure, I get 3
records, as follows. The 3rd record, with DEX_ROW_ID of 236416, does not
exist in database, so how could adp be pulling this? thanks.

This DEX_ROW_ID does not exist in Database!

 

[Sylvain Lafontaine]

And how are you retrieving these records from ADP and displaying them in
three columns? Is this result straightforward from the database window or
if it comes after a lot of VBA code has executed? Any use of RecordsetClone
instead of Recordset.Clone in your ADP code? Did you take a look with the
SQL-Server Profiler to see if there is nothing different between the request
sent by ADP and the one sent by QA?

And finally, how can you be sure that the record 236416 doesn't exist in the
database?

 

[Guest]

And how are you retrieving these records from ADP and displaying them in
three columns?

I just ran to Datasheet view in Access, and paste special/transpose in Excel
so that results would fit in web window.

Is this result straightforward from the database window or

if it comes after a lot of VBA code has executed?

No VBA cose is being used.

Any use of RecordsetClone instead of Recordset.Clone in your ADP code?

No coding, just simple SQL select statement.

Did you take a look with the

SQL-Server Profiler to see if there is nothing different between the request
sent by ADP and the one sent by QA?

I've not, something for me to explore. thks

And finally, how can you be sure that the record 236416 doesn't exist in the
database?

I ran following SQL statement through Query Analyzer. No records were
returned.
SELECT dbo.GL20000.*
FROM dbo.GL20000
WHERE (DEX_ROW_ID = 236416)

 

[Sylvain Lafontaine]

Maybe a transaction problem. What does it gives if you add the WITH
(NOLOCK) hint? Also, is GL20000 a table or a view?

 

[Guest]

GL20000 is a table.
Running the SQL WITH (NOLOCK) produced results as before.

I've a request into our Tech folks re: SQL-Server Profiler to do what you
suggested earlier. May not happen until tomorrow, so i'll update case with
those results. Thanks for help so far.

 

[Sylvain Lafontaine]

It's possible that you have depassed the limit of the Datasheet view. Try
with displaying only a few fields by creating a query and also try running
this query from VBA code to see if this problem is coming from the dataview
or from ADO.

Also, refresh the Tables views using the F5 or the Refresh Command from the
View menu to make sure that the metadata are OK.

 

[Vadim Rapp]

I would explore two possibilities:

1. Access is taking the data from one table while you are looking at
another. For example, two tables with different owners. It does not look
like this might be the case from your examples, but just verify to be sure.

2. 236416 that you see in the result is not the same 236416 that you put in
WHERE statement. For example, if DEX_ROW_ID is a character column with an
extra space or even some binary character before or after. Try this:

select * from dbo.GL20000 where DEX_ROW_ID = (select DEX_ROW_ID from
dbo.GL20000 where JRNENTRY = 46099 and DEX_ROW_ID NOT IN (178322, 178323 ) )

or, in Access explore the true hex contents of the returned alleged 236416.

Sylvain and Vadim:
Thank you both for your replies and ideas. After further inquiry, I had
relied on another's assurance that that the Query Analyzer results were being
run against the same DB as the Acess Project. If fact, the Query Analyzer
was being run against Production and Access was pointed towards Test. Thanks
again.
