Well if I'm understanding this -- and to be honest, I'm on very thin ice -- I can't check the state of the connection in my original code as suggested by batesviewconStr="Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=<SQLServer2008>;Initial Catalog=<mydb>;Integrated Security=SSPI"
Set cmdObj=createobject("adodb.command")
On Error Resume Next
' if cmdObj.State = 1 then
With cmdObj
.activeconnection=conStr
--blah
End with
because I haven't actually opened a connection -- only instantiated a command object.
Are you suggesting that, from your example, I could check the state of the oConn object (not the command object), since that one is established before the command is executed?
I'll follow up on that if I see more 3709's.
Thanks folks.
Yes exactly. Using my code you would have an explicit connection which would let you check of the connection object. 😉
