Q192518: PRB: SQL OLE DB Provider Fails When Selected in OLE DB Wizard

Article: Q192518
Product(s): Microsoft C Compiler
Version(s): 6.0
Operating System(s): 
Keyword(s): kberrmsg kbOLEDB kbVC600 kbMDACNoSweep
Last Modified: 21-JUL-2001

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Enterprise Edition, version 6.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

A dialog box with the message "Could not find any table or procedure
information" appears when the SQL OLE DB Provider is used in the OLE DB Consumer
Wizard.

CAUSE
=====

As mentioned in the Visual C++ readme file, the SQL OLE DB Provider requires
that the new Instcat.sql file be executed in ISQL/W. This SQL script updates
catalog-stored procedures on the SQL Server. This is a problem only on SQL
Server 6.5 and earlier versions.

RESOLUTION
==========

Start SQL Server's ISQL/W program and open the Instcat.sql file. The file is
located in the Windows system directory (for example, :\winnt\system32). Execute
the file.

STATUS
======

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------

1. In the Visual C++ environment, create a new MFC Dialog application.

2. On the Insert menu, click New ATL Object.

3. Select Data Access.

4. Select Consumer, and click Next.

5. Click Select DataSource.

6. Select "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server."

7. Type in the server name, user ID, Password, and database.

8. Click OK.

RESULTS: You will see the dialog box with the error message.
