Updating recordsets in MS SQL 2005 not working

[julian77]

Hi,

I have recetly migrated from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005 and certain .asp-code that was working before, is no longer working.

Retrieving, inserting, deleting recordsets are no problem, but when I try to update I run into problems.

The following code works:

"UPDATE tblsomething SET column_name = 'something' "

But in all my pages I have been using:

rs.Open "SELECT * FROM tblSomething WHERE column_name=" & RequestSomething, connection, 1,3

and then I'll list the columns

rs.Fields("column_name") = Request.Form("form_name")
-
-
rs.Update

And this approach does not work. Since I am primarily a designer with programming knowledge on a need-to-know-basis, I don't know if something changed between the MS SQL versions? And I am not so keen on changing my code to the working solution in all those pages...

Since the error message is in Swedish I can't just post it but is says something about not finding the sql server in sysservers and tells me to run sp_addlinkedserver to add servers into sysservers?

Does this make any sence to anyone?

Any help appreciated.

Need a little bit more to go on--such as your open statements for the database connection and the recordset.

Arbert,

Thanks for your reply.

The connection is working, I can view, insert, etc recordsets from the database in SQL 2005. The problem arises when I try to update.

Connection looks generically like:

Set DB = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") 
SQL = "driver={SQL Server};SERVER=ip-number;UID=userid;PWD=password;database=databasename"

And the recordset:

Set rsUpdate = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM tblName WHERE ID=" & Request("ID")
rsUpdate.Open strSQL, DB,1,3

Then I list the field names I wan to update:

rsUpdate.Fields("column_name") = Request.Form("form_name")
... etcetera

And try to update:

rsUpdate.Update

This exact code works towards an MS SQL 2000 database, but not MS SQL 2005 which I have with my new hosting company.

Any ideas why not? Thanks,

Ouch. I know it doesn't directly answer your question, but why are you performing an update like that??? It's slow and has a lot of overhead--you should think about passing a CONN.EXECUTE statement or best yet--use a stored proc for the update.

Did you find a solution to this problem? I've just come up against the same thing. I'd prefer not to have to rewrite lots of old code just now.
