Re: Difference between ODBCdirect Connection and Pass-through-query

Hi Cedar,

Thanks for your response.

I didn't find out, how to make it work with recordsets, I can do it only with a query ;-)

Me.Recordsource=rst doesn't work

maybe someone else knows what I have to do, in order to work with a recordset

Kind regards,
Irina

Hey.. that looks like something I wrote! :)

What about:

Dim rst As Recordset
Set rst = odbcConn.OpenRecordset(strSQL, dbOpenSnapshot, dbExecDirect)

> Me.RecordSource = qry.SQL

This part I'm not sure about (it's been a long time away from Access).
Can you just set Me.RecordSource = rst ? If so, forget making a query.
Also, keep in mind that this would give you a snapshot recordset. Change
the args to OpenRecordset as necessary.
