VB6: Dataenvironment designer keeps crashing

[Clunietp]

don't use the designer, use ADO Code .... ?

[GerryWhite]

I was afraid of that. Do you know of a good online tutorial for ADO coding?

SQL statements are not the problem for me. The 'mechanics' of using VB6 tied to databases is. I need to find out where these commands physically go.

Is this crashing of the DE a known issue or is my system just configured poorly?

Thanks once again.

I've been developing database apps since '86, but I'm just now getting into VB6. I'm putting together forms which will tie to Access97 tables for development and then to Oracle8 for production.
The problem I am having is this: I'm using the DE Designer to create COMMAND objects and relational CHILD COMMANDS for these forms. At least 6 times a day, when I try to save a new child command, VB6 will crash with an ILLEGAL OPERATION error. Nice, huh?
Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Well there are two solutions:
1) reinstall VB6.0.The crashing of DE DEsigner is not a known issue.Our latest software had one in it and the reporting was perfect
2)As far as coding is concerned with adodc,all I know from my experience is that TEACH YOURSELF VB5.0 DATABASE PROGRAMMING IN 21 DAYS had one long chapter about it.And it was really cool.So I presume that the next edition of the book(it is easily available) also contains coding with ADODC.
Nevertheless the best way to learn(AS I have done) is to spend some time on MSDN:either the CDs or on the web,
