Cannot change the ActiveConnection property of a Recordset object - vbscript

I'm trying to open a recordset such that I can get an accurate value for RecordCount. I have some code that successfully does this by using Recordset.Open with the adOpenStatic and adLockReadOnly constants. However, when I use the following code.
With cmd
.ActiveConnection = db
.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc
.CommandText = "doGetBookingCrewDetails"
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("#bookingid", adInteger, adParamInput)
.Parameters("#bookingid") = 42943
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("#starttime", adDBTimeStamp, adParamInput)
.Parameters("#starttime") = "07/10/2016 00:00"
End With
Set rsCr = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rsCr.Open cmd, db, adOpenStatic, adLockReadOnly
I get the error
0x800a0e7b - ADODB.Recordset: Cannot change the ActiveConnection property of a Recordset object which has a Command object as its source.
The above code returns the correct set of results when using Command.Execute, but then I can't specify the constants that seem to make the row count property work.
How do I make this work?

Here are some points from Open Method (ADO Recordset):
The ActiveConnection property is read-only for Recordset objects whose Source property is set to a valid Command object, even if the Recordset object is not open.
and
the activeconnection parameter is optional.
also
If you pass a Command object in the Source argument and also pass an ActiveConnection argument, an error occurs. The ActiveConnection property of the Command object must already be set to a valid Connection object or connection string
So in short, try not passing db into rsCr.open at all.
Something like this:
rsCr.Open cmd, , adOpenStatic, adLockReadOnly

Unspecified error while opening a connection to database

Good eve guys.
I'm having a problem with my code.
The goal is, when I type a letter in the combobox, it wiill show a list of possible model names.
But whenever I type in that combobox, it gives me an error.
Here's the code I'm working on:
Private Sub cmbSearch_Change()
Dim conn As New ADODB.Connection
Dim record As New ADODB.Recordset
Dim model As String
model = cmbSearch.Text
If cmbSearch.Text <> "" Then
conn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=" & App.Path & "\Database.mdb"
cmbSearch.Clear
record.Open "SELECT Model FROM LaptopSpecs WHERE Model LIKE '" & model & "%' ORDER BY Model", conn, 3, 3
If record.RecordCount > 0 Then
Do While Not record.EOF
cmbSearch.AddItem record.Fields("Model").Value
record.MoveNext
Loop
End If
cmbSearch.Text = model
End If
Set record = Nothing
Set conn = Nothing
End Sub
In the part conn.open, the error message pops up.
run-time error '-2147467259(80004005)': unspecified error
Assuming you are using Access:
This question isn't about Access, but if it where:
Expanding on this answer, I recommend removing all the code in your example, and replacing it with this (done in Form design mode):
Set the cmbSearch.RowSource property to a fixed query like:
SELECT Model FROM LaptopSpecs ORDER BY Model
Set the cmbSearch Auto Expand to True.
This will work for 98% of all ComboBox type-to-select scenarios, and should work for your example.

How to browse a query result?

I have a query:
sqlPU = "SELECT num_uti FROM myTable WHERE C_IDENT_A = '5'
but I didn't know to browse my result.
I try this but it doesn't work
req.Open sqlPU, oConn
If Not req.EOF Then
Set resultSet = oConn.Execute(sqlPU)
For Each result In resultSet
WScript.Echo resultSet.Fields(num_uti).Value
Next
End if
Try restructuring the code like this;
Dim oConn, req, sqlPU
'Create connection
Set oConn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Call oConn.Open("yourconnectionstring")
'Set query
sqlPU = "SELECT num_uti FROM myTable WHERE C_IDENT_A = '5'"
'Open recordset
Set req = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
Call req.Open(sqlPU, oConn)
'Loop the return data
Do While Not req.EOF
'Output field called num_uti.
WScript.Echo req.Fields("num_uti").Value
'Move to next record
Call req.MoveNext()
Loop
'Clean-up
Call req.Close()
Set req = Nothing
Call oConn.Close()
Set oConn = Nothing
The code in the question has a few issues,
The sqlPU query string is missing a string termination character (") and will cause a syntax error.
When you call .Open() on a ADODB.Recordset it is populated and can be traversed using a Do loop and .MoveNext() method, the extra .Execute() you do is not required and re-runs the same query again. The .MoveNext() method tells the ADODB.Recordset to move it's pointer 1 record, once it reaches the end the value of .EOF will equal True. Without .MoveNext() the pointer will not move past the end of the file (EOF) and the loop will run indefinitely or until the script falls over, neither of which is good.
Referencing columns using .Fields() collection requires either an index (ordinal numeric value starting from 0) or a string containing the alias of the column (in this case "num_uti"). In the original code the column alias wasn't a string which means VBScript would assume it's a variable called num_uti and because num_uti is uninitialised it would fail.

Classic ASP Iterate through and Object

I'm a PHP developer, learning ASP.
I've become very reliant on PHP's useful functions: print_r() and var_dump() to see what an array or object contains.
I don't always know what columns are in a Db Table. So, when a SELECT * From Tbl is queried, and the objRS is populated, would I be able to view what the entire object's contents are?
Is this possible in ASP?
<% `my simple Select statement
Dim strDbConnection
Dim objConn
Dim objRS
Dim strSQL
strDbConnection = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=d:\test.mdb;"
Set objConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
objConn.Open(strDbConnection)
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM persons"
Set objRS = objConn.Execute(strSQL)
If objRS.EOF Then
Response.Write("No items found")
Else
Do While Not objRS.EOF
' show all columns I can extract here....
objRS.MoveNext()
Loop
End If
objRS.Close()
Set objRS = Nothing
objConn.Close()
Set objConn = Nothing
%>
-- I would like to see what's coming back at me in the objRS, and then cherry-pick the columns after I know what I have access to.
Is there something similar to what I'm used to?
ie: print_r()
You can use objRS.fileds(j).name and objRS.fields(j).value to get the name of columns and values.
For example:
[...]
for j = 0 to objRS.fields.count - 1
response.write(objRS.fields(j).name & " = " & objRS.fields(j).value)
next

How can I create datareport using recordset in vb6?

Private Sub showreport_Click()
sql = "select * from student_record_database where"
sql=sql+ Grade='" & Combo1.Text & "' AND Meal='" & Combo11.Text & "'"
Set RES = CON.Execute(sql)
Set DataReport1.DataSource = RES
DataReport1.WindowState = vbMaximized
DataReport1.Show vbModal
End Sub
I am using this code as record set to create a data report.
My task is to choose options from various combo boxes and then display it's report so record set is needed there..
My question is that whether this code is sufficient to create data report???
I didn't set any properties of data environment or data report such as (connection - command - sql) because I am passing this record set directly to data report,then no need to fire any sql in properties of data environment.
But unfortunately it is not showing desired output
Please help me.
Try this one:
Private sub cmdprint_click()
Dim rs as new adodb.recordset
rs.open "SQL Query Statement Here",CON, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic
set datareport1.datasource=rs
datareport1.show
end sub
Notes:
The data report datasouce should be cleared during design mode. (See properties on the datareport and set its datasource property to empty.) Ohhh...one more thing, please keep in mind that you should set also the datafield property for each textbox object inside the datareport corresponding to the datafield on your database during design time...
I am using this method for a long time and it works fine.
Try this.
To add a quite to a string, use a double quite.
Also you missed spelled the second Combo1 reference as Combo11
Private Sub showreport_Click()
sql = "select * from student_record_database where "
sql = sql & "Grade=""" & Combo1.Text & """ AND Meal=""" & Combo1.Text & """"
Set RES = CON.Execute(sql)
Set DataReport1.DataSource = RES
DataReport1.WindowState = vbMaximized
DataReport1.Show vbModal
End Sub

Can't access multiple records being returned by sql via ADODB.Recordset object

When I execut the sql direct it returns 4 records. when I execute the oraCommand.Execute the oraResults object shows only 1 record returned it should have a count of 4.
Hence I can get the value and name for the single record. Question is how do I get the other 3 records? I have tried set oraResults=oraResults.NextRecordSet() and I get error saying not supported!
Any help will appreciated.
This is the snippet of the code:
set oraCommand = CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
'set connection and sql statement
set oraCommand.ActiveConnection = oraConnection
oraCommand.CommandText =oraSQLStatement
oraCommand.CommandType = 1 ' commandText
oraCommand.Prepared = True
set oraResults = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
'run the sql
set oraResults = oraCommand.Execute
oraResults.Fields(0).Name - Name from first record is returned
oraResults.Fields(0)>Value - Value from first record is returned
Try something like this: loop through the oraResults recordset and read the records:
Do until oraResults.EOF
Response.Write oraResults("firstFieldName")
Response.Write oraResults("secondFieldName")
oraResults.MoveNext
Loop
