I'm using command object and everytime I declare it like so:

objCommand.CommandType = adCmdText

OR

objCommand.CommandType = adCmdTable

I get an error. but without it, it works fine. how come??

Hi europhreak,

What type of command are you executing - sql query / stored proc / table opening?

Have you got a reference to the ADO constants in your page?

Cheers,

Chris

i'm using access database with one table. in the book beggining asp 3.0 they're only specifying constants with a CONNECTION object but not with Command object.

adCmdText and adCmdTable are ADO constants, if you don't reference or declare them in your page you will get errors.

HTH,

Chris

see the problem is that when i DO NOT specify them it works fine, when i DO specify i get an error.

That is beacuse if you do not specify a CommandType ADO works out which type of CommandType to use, this will take longer than specifying the correct CommandType to start with.

If you pass it a CommandType for example adCmdText without defining the ADO constants first you will be passing an empty variant to the property causing an error.

ok, got it working. simply added this on top of the page:

Excellent, so all you needed to do was add the constants after all :D
