Is PBForms.inc not compatible with ADO?

[Alexander Holzer]

I change my code and shall work without PBForms

[Alexander Holzer]

Thanks José Roca!
It works!

..but I think, to use PBForms further

[José Roca]

It is not a PBForms problem. Is a problem of using the reserved word Data as the name of a parameter when there are more parameters after it.

[Alexander Holzer]

But PBForms use this "word" DATA also...
Why does it make this? if it admits is

[José Roca]

DATA is used to declare string constants within the source code to be read by READ$ function.
Example: DATA "Abc", Bob, "Sally", 123
Read the help file.
Apparently, the compiler is being confused when used as a parameter name.

Which version of the compiler is this? I am not getting any errors on my system(PB/WIN 8.04).

[José Roca]

I have tested it with version 8.04, but you have to use the particular MSADO27.INC file that Alexander is using.

I have this error with WinXP Pro & Home, SP2.
PBWin 8.04.0042

If PowerBasic reserves this word, it must think if such case comes.
My recommendation:
- change in the COM Browser ".. DATA string.." on " .. xDATA string..", if such entries would happen.
Otherwise one must everyone times examine Work of COM Browser.
COM Browser is also development of the PB.

I decided to try the file the PB COM browser would produce, but for some odd reason the browser
does not seem to like my system. It lists the registered versions of the type library, but
displays "Libray not present" in the Location field.
It's the only browser of the many in my arsenal that behaves like this.

Well, I can use the "Open Library File" command, but there is no way I am going to let this browser
monkey around with my type libraries.

The Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects library is a rather interesting library when it comes to the
resolving of external references, but I digress.
