Hi,
I've copied the routine below in my modul and I am trying to use it but I come across the following problem:
After the clTrgt.CopyFromRecordset rst statement I get an err.number=0!! Now, this apperently means I have in my recordset an OLE 'object field - WHAT IS THAT?? or array data such as hierarchical recordsets???
The recordset is completely normal with strings and integers...nothing else!! Please Help..Here ist the code..Thanks in advance!
