SYMPTOMS
========

If you are using AppWizard or ClassWizard to create a table-type recordset
derived from CDaoRecordset, you will not be able to successfully select the
first table in the list of tables presented. Attempting to do so will result in
a dialog box bearing the following message:

  You must select one table for this table-type recordset.

RESOLUTION
==========

To work around this problem, follow this procedure:

1. Instead of selecting a Table recordset type in the wizard, use Dynaset.

2. Edit the implementation (.cpp) file of the resulting recordset and search for
  the member variable m_nDefaultType. Change the type of recordset by modifying
  the value that is assigned to that member.

  Change this:

       m_nDefaultType = dbOpenDynaset;

  To this:

       m_nDefaultType = dbOpenTable;

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the
beginning of this article. This bug was corrected in Visual C++ 4.1.
