runtime error 3265: item cannot be found in this collection

Hello!

I connected to sqlserver 7 db from vb6.I got one record displayed from my db table as rs.fields(0).If i give rs.fields(1) , it gives me the error, item cannot be found in this collection.When i dispalyed the record count as msgbox rs.recordcount it shows -1.what may be the error, pls help.

LydiaPlease provide your sql statement within vb - and which cursorlocation are you setting (client or server). It sounds like your sql statement is only returning 1 column. When you use rs.fields(1) accesses the 2nd column returned by your sql query - not the next record in the recordset.|||Hello!

Thank you very much, i fixed the error as soon as i written to you.That is the same thing that you replied.It's coz i am quite new to VB and am learning.

Two more issues - i need ur help

1. But still i am getting the record count as -1 . why is it? but i am getting all my records in the record set.

2. I created a function to fill up the list box as

Function FillList(Listitem as Listbox, FieldName as Field, TableName as Table)

--Code--Goes here

End Function

when i tried to call the function as

FillList(List1, m_email,members)

it is returning error as : ByVal ref argument type mismatch

how should i refer the values with the arguments in the function?

Pls help

Lydia|||Which cursorlocation are you using ?|||Originally posted by rnealejr
Which cursorlocation are you using ?

What do you mean by cursor location? i gave the code like this:

--some code here--
opened the record set as AdopenforwardOnly|||Both the connection and recordset objects contain a property called cursorlocation. If you are not setting it, go into debug and view the properties of the object and examine the cursorlocation property.|||Thank you very much, After setting the cursor location, i got the correct record count.|||Happy to help.|||I have a function to fill up list box with a DB Field values as

Public Function FillList(ListItem As ListBox, FieldName As Field,TableName as Table)
Dim i As Integer
i = 0
DbConnect
strSQL = "select FieldName from TableName"

'without using the connection object
ObjRs.Open strSQL, strConn

' Add Items in the list box
ObjRs.MoveFirst
Do While Not ObjRs.EOF
ListItem.AddItem ObjRs(0), i
ObjRs.MoveNext
i = i + 1
Loop

'Be sure you close and destroy your objects.

ObjRs.Close
ObjConn.Close
Set ObjConn = Nothing
Set ObjRs = Nothing
End Function

' Then i called the function as

call FillList(List1,"M_email","Members")

It gives me error as : Type Mismatch

What is the mistake in the code?|||Please post the code before the FillList. How are the Field and Table referenced ( like through adodb ...) ?|||Yes, I connected to the DB as ADODB.Connection|||How are you able to reference "Table" ? Also, you should be explicit in your declarations (Adodb.Field).

The problem is that you are trying to pass a string to a function expecting an object. Both the field/table should be strings - so you would build your sql statement like:

strSQL = "select " & FieldName & " from " & TableName
