RESOLVED Dataset

OK,

I'm trying to place records from a dataset into some variables. Here is the code (long)

Code:

---

  Public Function RetrieveInfo(ByVal id As Integer) As String
        Dim conn As New CRAB.COMPSERV.SQL.SQLConn("sysadmin", "dogfish")
        Dim ds As New DataSet()
        conn.OpenDataSource()
        ds = conn.SelectSqlData("Select * from SYSADMIN_MAIN where id = " & id, "SYSADMIN_MAIN", True)

        sAppNumber = CStr(ds.Tables("SYSADMIN_MAIN").Rows(0)("AppNum"))
        sInputDate = CDate(ds.Tables("SYSADMIN_MAIN").Rows(0)("dt"))
        sReleaseDate = CDate(ds.Tables("SYSADMIN_MAIN").Rows(0)("RDt"))

        sProjName = CStr(ds.Tables("SYSADMIN_MAIN").Rows(0)("PName"))
        sProjType = CStr(ds.Tables("SYSADMIN_MAIN").Rows(0)("PType"))
        sSoftType = CStr(ds.Tables("SYSADMIN_MAIN").Rows(0)("SType"))
        sAppType = CStr(ds.Tables("SYSADMIN_MAIN").Rows(0)("AType"))

        sContact = CStr(ds.Tables("SYSADMIN_MAIN").Rows(0)("PContact"))
        sProjScope = CStr(ds.Tables("SYSADMIN_MAIN").Rows(0)("Scope"))
        sAppDescrip = CStr(ds.Tables("SYSADMIN_MAIN").Rows(0)("ADescription"))
        sEnvironment = CStr(ds.Tables("SYSADMIN_MAIN").Rows(0)("Environment"))
        sPlatform = CStr(ds.Tables("SYSADMIN_MAIN").Rows(0)("Platform"))
        sDevStatus = CStr(ds.Tables("SYSADMIN_MAIN").Rows(0)("DevStatus"))

        sAppNumber = CStr(ds.Tables("SYSADMIN_MAIN").Rows(0)("IUsers"))
        sProgLangsMethods = CStr(ds.Tables("SYSADMIN_MAIN").Rows(0)("PMethodLangs"))

        sAppName = CStr(ds.Tables("SYSADMIN_MAIN").Rows(0)("AppFlName"))
        sSolName = CStr(ds.Tables("SYSADMIN_MAIN").Rows(0)("SolName"))
        sAppLocation = CStr(ds.Tables("SYSADMIN_MAIN").Rows(0)("AppLocation"))
        sDependancies = CStr(ds.Tables("SYSADMIN_MAIN").Rows(0)("LibSoftDep"))
        sDatabaseUsage = CStr(ds.Tables("SYSADMIN_MAIN").Rows(0)("dbAccessed"))
        sDatabase1 = CStr(ds.Tables("SYSADMIN_MAIN").Rows(0)("db1"))
        sRead1 = CStr(ds.Tables("SYSADMIN_MAIN").Rows(0)("db1Read"))
        sWrite1 = CStr(ds.Tables("SYSADMIN_MAIN").Rows(0)("db1Write"))
        sLocation1 = CStr(ds.Tables("SYSADMIN_MAIN").Rows(0)("db1Loc"))
        sDBconnect1 = CStr(ds.Tables("SYSADMIN_MAIN").Rows(0)("db1ConnMethod"))
        sDatabase2 = CStr(ds.Tables("SYSADMIN_MAIN").Rows(0)("db2"))
        sRead2 = CStr(ds.Tables("SYSADMIN_MAIN").Rows(0)("db2Read"))
        sWrite2 = CStr(ds.Tables("SYSADMIN_MAIN").Rows(0)("db2Write"))
        sLocation2 = CStr(ds.Tables("SYSADMIN_MAIN").Rows(0)("db2Loc"))
        sDBConnect2 = CStr(ds.Tables("SYSADMIN_MAIN").Rows(0)("dbConnMethod"))
        sDesDbUsage = CStr(ds.Tables("SYSADMIN_MAIN").Rows(0)("DBDescrip"))
        sFileShares = CStr(ds.Tables("SYSADMIN_MAIN").Rows(0)("flShareAccess"))
        sBrowser = CStr(ds.Tables("SYSADMIN_MAIN").Rows(0)("minBrowser"))
        sServicePack = CStr(ds.Tables("SYSADMIN_MAIN").Rows(0)("SPReqs"))
        sComments1 = CStr(ds.Tables("SYSADMIN_MAIN").Rows(0)("SysComments"))
        sKnownIssues = CStr(ds.Tables("SYSADMIN_MAIN").Rows(0)("Issues"))
        sAuthentication = CStr(ds.Tables("SYSADMIN_MAIN").Rows(0)("EUsrAuth"))
        sEscPriv = CStr(ds.Tables("SYSADMIN_MAIN").Rows(0)("EscPriv"))
        sEndAccountType = CStr(ds.Tables("SYSADMIN_MAIN").Rows(0)("EndUsrAcct"))
        sEndAccount = CStr(ds.Tables("SYSADMIN_MAIN").Rows(0)("EUsrName"))
        sServiceAccountType = CStr(ds.Tables("SYSADMIN_MAIN").Rows(0)("SvcAcct"))
        sServiceAccount = CStr(ds.Tables("SYSADMIN_MAIN").Rows(0)("SvcAcctName"))
        sSecurity = CStr(ds.Tables("SYSADMIN_MAIN").Rows(0)("DescripSecModel"))
        sComments2 = CStr(ds.Tables("SYSADMIN_MAIN").Rows(0)("Comments"))




    End Function

the problem is that it does not get any values after:

[code]
sInputDate = CDate(ds.Tables("SYSADMIN_MAIN").Rows(0)("dt"))

Starting with:

Code:

---

        sReleaseDate = CDate(ds.Tables("SYSADMIN_MAIN").Rows(0)("RDt"))

---

It does not get anything in return for the query. It's so weird.

does it error or anything?

have you tried variable=mydataset.tables("whatever").rows(0).item(2)

just to check if there's anything in there?

I just tried that. I still got nothing. It does not error out at all. When step through it, it just goes onto each variable ref and does not place anything in it. I don't understand.....

I think it got it. where it was reference a string (you did not see this, another part of code), it should have been a date. But, why would it stop allowing me to place the value of the record into strings. It does not make any sense.
