VB6 object variable not set - vb6

I have a report in VB6 that has been completed. There is no issues whatsoever when I try to run it once, however, if I try to run it again I get the annoying "91 Object variable or With block variable not set". I don't see what I'm doing wrong, i get this error when I go to SELECT stuff from SQL SERVER...please see code below
g_SQL = "select Rpt as Label, rptOrder from tblData " & _
" where Rpt like '" & Client & "%' "
g_RS.Open g_SQL, g_cnDat, adOpenStatic
SO i do this here, a simple SELECT QUERY, and like I said it goes fine. I pull this data, use it for my report, then I do this
g_RS.close
When I try to run the report the 2nd time, it stops on
g_RS.open g_SQL,g_cnDat, adopenStatic
Why is this happening?

All set, it looks like i was opening it later on in the function and never closed it. Thanks for help!

VBScript newbie, GetObject 424 Object Required when connecting to application

I am trying to connect to an open application and send command to one of it's DLL functions. Here is the code- the error happens on the the GetObject. What am I doing wrong?
Dim oOL
Dim lcCmd
lcCmd = "'QQWOMOD.TWOAuto', '100',False"
MsgBox lcCmd
On Error Resume Next
'The Next stmt is commented out, but gives the same error as the one that follows it
'Set oOL = GetObject("C:\Program Files (x86)\Component Control\Quantum Control\Quantum.exe", "Quantum.SysMod")
Set oOL = GetObject("Quantum.SysMod")
If oOL is Nothing Then
MsgBox "1- " + Err.Description
MsgBox "1- " + Err.number
End If
MsgBox ("2")
oOL.InspectWO(lcCmd)
MsgBox("3")
A suggestion: comment this line and run the program again.
On Error Resume Next
This line is not allowing you to understand the error because the program will go ahead even though the error is raised.
Welcome to Stack Overflow. I'm still amazed by the number of people who start programming using ancient VBScript, but let's see this through. :)
The first thing you need to do is avoid using On Error Resume Next wherever possible, since this will mask the true cause of your errors. The error you report, Object Required is because oOL has not been set at all due to an error with the line above. If I take your example and allow errors, we'll see that it's complaining about a syntax error stemming from the call to GetObject. I believe you meant to use CreateObject?
Assuming that's the case, you'll have to run it again and see if it works. If not, and you get an error like "ActiveX component can't create object" it means you don't have the necessary DLL installed for Quantum SysMod. You should look at the software's documentation to see about registering it. You can also reference the regsvr32 page.
Again, if you have any other development tools available to you that can load the required component such as, C# or even VB.Net, then you should really try using those instead. VBScript is a terrible language.

Printing VBScript variables in QTP UFT

How can I check values of my variables at run time when using QTP UFT?
I simply want to create a variable, do logic and fill it with data, set a breakpoint in the line following the variable and then check or output its value somewhere.
I have tried:
print variableName
WScript.Echo variableName
The first produces error: Print function type mismatch
The second produces error: Object required: "WScript"
I'm not sure where the problem lies as I've just started to get into both UFT and VBScript (mostly did C# and javascript and everything is quite different here). Could someone tell me the correct solution and perhaps also explain these errors to me?
If you wanted to see all variables use the debug viewer in QTP.
View -> Debug Viewer
There you can list all the variables you want to watch. You should be able to see them in break points.
Note : Ensure you have Windows script debugger installed to use the debug viewer.
You can also add the variable to watch .. Insert a breakpoint>> start the script then right click on the variable under test and add it to watch(Add to Watch) . After Adding you will see a watch window and the value of the variable will be displayed.
I obsess over my variables... so much so that I sprinkly my code with print statements... Actually, I abstract print into my own UDF (so that I can optionally add logging to a file if needed)...
Here's my function: (it's actually a sub because it doesn't return anything)
Sub say(textToSay)
If talkative Then 'note that if I set global var "talkative" to false, then the whole log is disabled
print textToSay
End If
End Sub
Then, ALL my code typically looks like this...
say "click submit button"
Broswer("WebSite").Page("Search").WebButton("Submit").click
say "check for result"
if not Browser("WebSite").Page("Results").Exist then
say "results page didn't appear after exist timeout"
failtest
else
say "successfully found results page"
end if
Honestly, I'm shocked that your "print variableName" statement gave an error, print is actually available in the VBScript api, so it should have worked.
All of my output goes to the Output pane in UFT. I would give my right-arm to find a way to programmatically clear that output pane between runs, but noone seems to know how to do it.
The benefit of all this logging is that I can watch my code run and see EVERY branch taken by the code, and I can add statements to print my variables.
Here's an example that shows how I would answer your question:
result = browser("WebSite").Page("Results").WebElement("Result").GetROProperty("innertext")
say "result:" & result
if result = "Approved" then
Reporter.ReportEvent micPass, "Check for approved", "Approved!"
else
Reporter.ReportEvent micFail, "Check for approved", "NOT Approved!"
End If
Notice the say statement in there - I'll be able to see that immediately during code execution without waiting until the results are shown at the end.

Insert Property of Picture Class

I have read all of the questions on here about this topic and none of them provided me with a workable solution, so I'm asking this one.
I am running a legitimate copy of Excel 2013 in Windows 7. I record a macros where I insert a picture, and in the open file dialog I paste this URL: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41u%2BilIi00L._SL160_.jpg (simply a picture of a product on Amazon). This works as expected.
The resulting macros looks like this:
Sub insertImage()
'
' percent Macro
'
'
ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert( _
"http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41u+ilIi00L._SL160_.jpg").Select
End Sub
However, when I attempt to run this, the Insert line breaks with the following error:
Run-time error '1004':
Unable to get the Insert property of the Picture class
I am trying to insert a number of pictures into an excel document and I am using the ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert method to do this. I have been experiencing this issue there, so I recreated it in a way others could replicate to facilitate getting an answer...
An interesting thing to note is:
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41u%2BilIi00L._SL160_.jpg 'This is what I pasted
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41u+ilIi00L._SL160_.jpg 'This is what the recorded macros recorded
It looks like Excel automatically resolved the %2B to a +. I tried making that change, but to no success.
Another interesting thing to note is that sometimes this does work and sometimes it doesn't. This url is a case where it does not work. Here's one where it does: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51mXQ-IjigL._SL160_.jpg
Why would Excel generate a macros it can't run? More importantly, how can I avoid this error and get on with my work!? Thanks!
Try this workaround:
Sub RetrieveImage()
Dim wsht As Worksheet: Set wsht = ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet
wsht.Shapes.AddPicture "http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41u+ilIi00L._SL160_.jpg", _
msoFalse, msoTrue, 0, 0, 100, 100
End Sub
All fields are required, which is kind of a bummer since you cannot get the default size. The location offsets and sizes are in pixels/points. Also, the % turning to + is just alright, as % would cause it to be not recognized (dunno why).
Result:
Let us know if this helps.
I'm experiencing the same issue.
After some digging I found out Excel does a HTTP HEAD request before getting the image.
If this HEAD request is unsuccessful Excel will return the exact error messages mentioned in this discussion.
Your could easily test this using Fiddler.

Data Report and Grouping (Shape Append)

I hard-coded a data report's DataMember and Datafields (I'm not using a DataEnviroment, and don't know how either. I'd rather code it personally) but the more I check the code, I can't get to solve this thing.
The error message I'm getting is:
Error '8526' Can't find DataField 'Omisions.Date'
in this part of the code:
rpt.Refresh
Just before I do a rpt.Show at the end of the code. rpt is my current datareport.
Here's the relevant code:
sql = "Shape {exec Usp_HoraExtra_Rut 1} As Normal " _
& "Append ({exec Usp_HoraExtra_Rut 2} As Omisions " _
& "Relate Nit To Nit)"
rptrs.Open sql, db, adOpenStatic, adLockReadOnly
I'm using two stored procedures instead because of the large queries.
Then I add the DataMember:
.Sections("Section1").Controls.Item("t_fecha").DataMember = "Omisions"
and then the DataFields:
.Sections("Section1").Controls.Item("t_fecha").DataField = "date"
and then:
rpt.Refresh
rpt.Show
If anyone can give me a hand, it'd be greatly apreciated.
Edit: typo, cleaned up the code.
For anyone who might read this...
I solved this problem by switching from stored procs to views. For some reason SHAPE doesn't work with sotred procs and I refuse to code a big giant SQL query. I just created a view on my database and query'd it.
Also, the connnection string needs changing.
All in all, hard nut.

VB6 ADODB Record Set Update

So I'm pretty new to Visual Basic and inherited this VB6 code that i need to work on now. Right now, I'm trying to update a SQL database using an ADODB.RecordSet. I have a Select SQL statement that pulls the right data from the database into the ADODB.RecordSet, but I'm having problems updating all the rows. What I am trying to do is to update the same column for each row with the same value. Right now, its updating a few of the records, but I'm getting an error pop up. The error I get is:
Run Time error 3021: Either BOF or EOF
is True or the current record has been
deleted. Requested operation requires
a current record.
When I click to debug, it takes me to rsUpdate.fields(TargetFieldName) = value
The project itself is huge and too large to post, but the part of the code that I'm working on now is this:
If rsUpdate.State = adStateOpen Then
If rsUpdate.EOF Then
rsUpdate.Close
Exit Function
End If
rsUpdate.MoveFirst
Dim i as Integer
For i = 0 To rsUpdate.recordCount
rsUpdate.fields(TargetFieldName) = value
rsUpdate.MoveNext
Next i
On Error GoTo canupdaterecord
rsUpdate.Update
On Error GoTo 0
rsUpdate.Close
End If
Exit function
So any help you guys can give me would be greatly appreciated. Like I said, I'm pretty new to VB and am kind of learning this all as I go.
I would guess the problem is an off-by-one error:
For i = 0 To rsUpdate.recordCount
rsUpdate.fields(TargetFieldName) = value
rsUpdate.MoveNext
Next i
If recordcount returns 5, this loop will make 6 runs: 0,1,2,3,4,5.
I'd write it like this:
while not rsUpdate.EOF do
rsUpdate.fields(TargetFieldName) = value
rsUpdate.MoveNext
wend
Try this also:
If reUpdate.EOF Then
Exit Sub
End If
