Hello,
Whenever I call cnn.begintrans I get this error, > Error Number -2147467259
Error Desc [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access
Driver]Attribute cannot be set now

I'm using connection to open readonly recordset to view record before updation/insert/Delete.

Any help will be appriciated.

Ajish, whenever I get an error number that is not four digits long, especially if it's a long number like that, it usually means I mispelled something or am refering to something that doesn't exist. Yes, I know that Access is supposed to catch that and tell you, but sometimes it doesn't. The result is an error; but the error number is very long and the error message is usually false or very vague.

Check where the error is and look for mispellings or references to objects that don't exist first.

Did this get resolved? I have just started getting the same error. It isn't down to anything being mispelled as it works for a few times, and then at somepoint I get the error (never the first time though).

Me too. It must be the "error of the month" :-)

It happens that when trying to start a transaction against an Access database thru ADO 2.7 I get the darn error.

Finally after hours I found out that it was due to another RecordSet opened before the transaction started.
Even being a readOnly RS, is stopped my program from starting a transaction. Not "another transaction", just "a transaction".

Can you post your code so that it helps better to find what went wrong?

I got the same problem but I have add codes to close all recordset after opening, then it's ok.

Hi

Solution to the above problem..........

This is because the RecordSet is already open. That is why we cannot participate in Begin Transaction. To overcome this problem we have to open RecordSet with the CursorLoction property as adUseClient.
Ex .. RS.CursorLocation = adUseClient
