TITLE   :DOC: Status Property of RdoResultset/RdoColumn is Read-Only
PRODUCT :Microsoft Visual Basic for Windows
PROD/VER:WINDOWS:5.0
OPER/SYS:NT Win95 WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:vb5all

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

 - Microsoft Visual Basic Enterprise Edition for Windows, version 5.0
   on the following platforms: NT, Win95
---------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY
=======

Contrary to what the Visual Basic documentation states (including Books
Online and Help files), the Status property of the rdoResultset/rdoColumn
object cannot be modified.

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

When using the optimistic batch update cursor library, the Status property
indicates the status of the current row for an rdoResultset or rdoColumn
object.

Prior to the BatchUpdate operation, its value determines if and how a row
will update in the next optimistic batch update. Once BatchUpdate is
complete, its value can be re-examined to determine if the update was
successful.

If an attempt is made to set this property at run-time, one or both of the
following error will occur:

 - Run-time error '-2147467263 (80004001)': Object Collection: Couldn't
   find item indicated by text.

   -or-

 - Run-time error '445': Object doesn't support this action.

NOTE: The above errors are not consistent with run-time errors caused by
setting read-only properties.
