    Passthrough queries and listboxes


    Alright here's the setup.

    I have a class called GTSDAO which has a method on it called "OpenRecordset".

    Code:
    Public Function OpenRecordset(SQL As String, Optional dbType As RecordsetTypeEnum = dbOpenSnapshot, Optional dbOptions As RecordsetOptionEnum = dbSQLPassThrough) As Recordset
        Set OpenRecordset = db.OpenRecordset(SQL, dbType, dbOptions)
    End Function
    The db object in the class is a DAO database created with an ODBC connection string set elsewhere. This way I can run all of my SQL requests directly to the SQL Server and bypass the JET engine entirely. No linked tables or local queries at all. Everything is VBA. I'm doing this for various reasons that I won't get into here.

    Now I am trying to set the recordset for one of my listboxes to a recordset based on this "OpenRecordset" method.

    Code:
    SQL = "SELECT Customers.ID, CustomerName AS [Customer Name], Contacts.FullName AS [Contact Name], SQPhoneNumbers.PhoneNumber AS Phone," _
            & " StatusName AS Status, iif(InActive = 0, 'Yes', 'No') AS Active" _
            & " FROM ((((Customers LEFT JOIN CustomerDetails ON Customers.ID = CustomerDetails.CustomerID)" _
            & " LEFT JOIN Contacts ON CustomerDetails.PrimaryContactID = Contacts.ID)" _
            & " LEFT JOIN Customers_PhoneNumbers ON CustomerDetails.CustomerID = Customers_PhoneNumbers.CustomerID)" _
            & " LEFT JOIN (SELECT ID, PhoneNumber" _
            & " FROM PhoneNumbers WHERE [Primary]=1) AS SQPhoneNumbers" _
            & " ON Customers_PhoneNumbers.PhoneNumberID = SQPhoneNumbers.ID)" _
            & " LEFT JOIN CustomerStatuses ON CustomerDetails.CustomerStatusID = CustomerStatuses.ID" _
            & " WHERE CustomerName LIKE '" & letter & "%' AND CustomerName LIKE '%" & Me.txtCriteria & "%'" & IIf(chkShowInActive, "", " AND InActive=0")
        Set Me.lstCustomers.Recordset = db.OpenRecordset(SQL)
    The query works fine when I run it in SSMS, I get 2 results back. However my listbox is blank. I have even checked the recordset of the listbox and it says there are 2 records in the listbox recordset. How can there be 2 records in my recordset, but the listbox shows nothing?



    BTW, I did try switching over form dbSQLPassThrough to dbReadOnly and Access chokes on my subquery (SELECT ID, PhoneNumber FROM PhoneNumbers WHERE [Primary]=1) AS SQPhoneNumbers.

    That is my listbox upon opening. It clearly thinks there are headers because it gives all of the widths for each header... but no data. Not even header data.

    FWIW, here is an MSN KB on using PassThrough for stored procedures which return results to a recordset. It's the method I'm using, just not as a stored procedure.

    First thought that comes to mind is that with DAO, you want * rather than % as a wildcard. It certainly clouds things that you're using a pass through, but I'd try switching that first since it's easy.

    Thanks pbaldy, but the wildcards are not the problem.
    Code:
        Set rs = Me.lstCustomers.Recordset
        rs.MoveLast
        Debug.Print rs.RecordCount
    This code in fact returns a RecordCount of 2.... which means the recordcount of what is in the listbox is correct, it's just not displaying the data.

    I've never tried to set a listbox recordset like this:

    Set Me.lstCustomers.Recordset = db.OpenRecordset(SQL)

    I would think the listbox headers are there because the column widths are set in design view. What are the row source and row source types set to? I'll play with a test db.

    Well, in a brief test I got it to work, so this falls in the "learn something new every day" category. I wonder if this is the problem:

    Set Me.lstCustomers.Recordset = db.OpenRecordset(SQL)

    Noting that you used the same name for your function as the method, which is never a good idea IMO.

    You'll need a SQL Server backend with a table. Then set the listbox's recordset to a recordset opened with the dbSQLPassThrough option. You get records in your recordset, but they won't display in your listbox.

    I changed the database variable name to dbs... same thing. For your testing you'll want to use db.OpenRecordset(SQL, dbOpenSnapshot, dbSQLPassThrough).

    In my class I have defaults set for the Type and Options parameters so in my example code you don't see them, but when they get run dbOpenSnapshot and dbSQLPassThrough are used. Hope that makes sense.

    Row Source Type = Table/Query
    Row Source is left blank since I'm setting the recordset of the listbox and not it's rowsource.

    Those settings had no effect using a local table. I certainly have access to SQL Server, but to fully replicate your environment I'd need to recreate your class, db object, etc, which I don't have time to do right now.

    Steve,

    Just a guess since I don't know Sql Server, do you have to Requery the listbox. If the recordcount is correct, i seems a timing or refresh issue....

    I wondered about requerying the listbox too, but in my test it filled instantly and this:

    Set Me.List20.Recordset = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL, dbOpenSnapshot, dbSQLPassThrough)
    Debug.Print Me.List20.ListCount

    returned the correct count. Still, can't hurt to try!

    Paul, are you setting db to currentdb? Did results show up in your listbox?

    I tried to do it Async but apparently that's not supported.

    Yes and yes. The full test code (in a junk test db) was:

    Code:
      Dim strSQL                  As String
      Dim db                      As DAO.Database
      Dim rs                      As DAO.Recordset
    
      Set db = CurrentDb()
    
      strSQL = "SELECT * FROM tblData"
    
      Set Me.List20.Recordset = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL, dbOpenSnapshot, dbSQLPassThrough)
      Debug.Print Me.List20.ListCount
      Set rs = Nothing
      Set db = Nothing
