SYMPTOMS
========

When using the Visual Basic T-SQL Debugger to debug SQL Server 7.0 stored
procedures, you might see incorrect values for input parameters in the Local
Variables window.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this problem, install Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 3 on the client
(Visual Basic) computer. You do not need to install the updated T-SQL Debugger
components on the server (SQL Server) computer.

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 Studio 6.0 Service Pack 3. For more information

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

1. Open a new Visual Basic Standard Exe project. Form1 is created by default.

2. Open the Data View window.

3. Create a Data Link to a SQL Server 7.0 Pubs database.

4. Open the Stored Procedures folder.

5. Right-click the reptq3 stored procedure and select Debug.
