APPLIES TO


This article was previously published under Q168208

SYMPTOMS

The StillExecuting property of a Connection or a QueryDef object will incorrectly remain True even after successfully completing an asynchronous operation. This does not occur with Recordset objects.

RESOLUTION

While the StillExecuting property of the Connection and QueryDef objects will incorrectly return a True the first time it is read after the asynchronous operation has completed, further tests of the StillExecuting property will return a False. Testing the StillExecuting property inside of a While loop will work. After the operation has completed, the While loop will run through one more cycle where StillExecuting will return a True, after which it will correctly return a False.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This bug has been fixed in Visual Studio 97 Service Pack 3.
