i have created record set object

set rs = .........

now i'am trying to find one record in the recordset

rs.movefirst
rs.find("field='value_to_search'",)


when i use rs.find i get errors like - cannot scrool backward, cannot use parentheses when calling sub.

what this errors are, and why described recordset method dont want to work., here is the fund method syntax from www tutorial www.w3schools.com

objRecordset.Find(criteria,skiprows,direction,star t)

people why can't make find method on recordset object, what i'am doing wrong ?

thanks

Your recordset is being create using the wrong sort of cursor... you should be using a static cursor to open your recordset if you want to do finds on it and to be able to move forwards and backwards through your recordset.

set db=server.createobject("adodb.connection")
db.open "DSN=rsFIND;UID=SYSDBA;PWD=masterkey"

set rsset=server.createobject("adodb.recordset")
rsset.cursortype=adopenstatic
rsset.open "select col1 from table1",db

do until rsset.EOF
response.write("value from problems table: "&rsset.fields("col1")&"<br/>")
rsset.movenext
loop


rsset.find "col1=1"
if rsset.EOF then
response.write("Record not found")
end if

response.write(rsset.fields("col1"))
^^^^^----------
this line i use to read record at which is positioned record after find
----------

rsset.close
set rsset=nothing

db.close
set db=nothing


-----------
using this code i get error,
Error Type:
ADODB.Field (0x80020009)
Either BOF or EOF is True, or the current record has been deleted. Requested operation requires a current record.


what is wrong ?,

thanks for helping

try this instead....
I suspect you will always be EOF though....

set db=server.createobject("adodb.connection")
db.open "DSN=test;UID=SYSDBA;PWD=masterkey"

set rs=server.createobject("adodb.recordset")
rs.cursortype=adopenstatic
rs.open "select * from TABLE_1",db


rs.find "COL_1=1"

if rs.EOF then
response.write("record not found")
else
response.write(rs.fields("COL_1"))
end if

rs.close
set rs=nothing

db.close
set db=nothing

i still get error, cursortype is type by which i can scrool forward or backward.

but i get error like
Error Type:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80040E29)
Rowset does not support scrolling backward.
/marek/methodFind.asp, line 10

change

rs.cursortype=adopenstatic

to

rs.cursortype=adOpenKeyset

set db=server.createobject("adodb.connection")
db.open "test"

set rs=server.createobject("adodb.recordset")
rs.cursortype=adopenkeyset
rs.open "select * from TABLE_1",db

rs.find "COL_1=1"

if rs.EOF then
response.write("record not found")
else
response.write(rs.fields("COL_1"))
end if

rs.close
set rs=nothing

db.close
set db=nothing

error is -
Error Type:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80040E29)
Rowset does not support scrolling backward.
/marek/methodFind2.asp, line 9


where is the problem ?

thank you for helping

Did you include the file for ADO constants (like adovbs_Inc.asp)? If not you can add the code

Const adOpenKeyset = 1

before you open the recordset.

people you know where was problem ????

problem was that if i try to setup cursortype like that
cursortype=adOpenStatic

then it not work

but if i type
cursortype = 3

then all is working,


people why ????

why using string value cursortype dont want to change, but when using integer value all is ok ????

i feel realy shame on me, because i'am stuck with this stupid problem about some days..........

see gyuan's reply above,.. you haven't included the constants file.
