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

- Microsoft Visual Basic Enterprise Edition for Windows, version 6.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

Applying a Filter to an ADO Recordset bound to a DataGrid may result in the
DataGrid showing incorrect rows or no rows at all, even if there are rows
matching the Filter criteria.

This occurs if a row other than the first row is selected in the DataGrid before
applying the new Filter to the ADO Recordset.

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 about Visual Studio 6.0 Service Packs, please see the

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

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

1. Start Visual Basic 6.0.

2. Choose to create a new Standard EXE project. Form1 is created by default.

3. Add the following Project References:

Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.0 Library

4. Add the following Project Components:

Microsoft DataGrid Control 6.0 (OLEDB)

5. Add the following controls to Form1:

1 - Microsoft DataGrid Control 6.0 (OLEDB)
3 - Command Buttons

6. Paste the following code into Form1's Code Window:

  Private rs As ADODB.Recordset

  Private Sub Command1_Click()
     'Display the records that have '1' in Field1
     rs.Filter = "Field1='1'"
  End Sub

  Private Sub Command2_Click()
     'Display the records that have '2' in Field1
     rs.Filter = "Field1='2'"
  End Sub

  Private Sub Command3_Click()
     'Display the records that have '3' in Field1
     rs.Filter = "Field1='3'"
  End Sub

  Private Sub Form_Load()
     Dim intField1 As Integer
     Dim i As Integer
     
     'Create a new empty recordset with 3 fields
     Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
     
     'Allow 2 digits in each field (Field1 will be 1 to 10)
     rs.Fields.Append "Field1", adChar, 2
     rs.Fields.Append "Field2", adChar, 2
     rs.Fields.Append "Field3", adChar, 2
     
     rs.Open
     
     'Add 10 distinct rows. Field1 goes from 1 to 10.
     For intField1 = 1 To 10
     
       'Add each distinct row 10 times:
       '  10 rows with '1' in Field1, 10 rows with '2', etc.
        For i = 1 To 10
           rs.AddNew
           rs!Field1 = intField1
           rs!Field2 = intField1 + 1
           rs!Field3 = intField1 + 2
           rs.Update
        Next i
     
     Next intField1
     
     'Populate the DataGrid
     Set DataGrid1.DataSource = rs
  End Sub

7. Run the project but do NOT click on the Grid.

8. Click each Command Button and note that the DataGrid correctly displays the
  rows from the Filtered recordset.

9. Click on a row in the DataGrid other than the first row.

10. Click each Command Button again and note that the DataGrid does not display
  any rows.
