A strange bug to fix

[Winla]

Here is the code I used for processing an ADO recordset

  Dim member As Field

 For Each member In myRst.Fields           

        Msgbox member.Name

        'more code goes here                      
  Next member

The rountine is used in my program for long time without problem. But after I add/remove some Reference library files a couple of times, I got an error message on member.Name: "Method or data member is not found"

When typing "." after "member", the auto-list-member list box display has different list options which has no "Name" option. when I tries to retype "Dim member as Field" line, The auto-list-member list box for types available has two lines with same name "Field". If I remove "Microsoft ActiveX Data Object 2.1 library" reference, no more double "Field" type line. Also, a early version of the same program still works fine.

Somehow I got a reference registry problem under VB IDE, but I have no idea what happened and how to fix it

Thanks very much for any help.

The same thing happend to me. I reinstalled VB and the code is working fine. You better install Visual studio Service Pack 4

Thx for response. I'll update to SP4 soon.

But I have found more clues, in case someone is still intersted in solving the puzzle. The problem I mentioned early came only after I tried to change "Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.1 Library" to Either "ActiveX Data Object 2.5 Library" or "ActiveX Data Object 2.0 Library". Once error happened once, the program will get the same error no matter which library file is chosen.

To me, this type library is not registered correctly. what could be wrong?

Did you try:
Dim member As ADODB.Field
