PRB: NextRecordset Fails When Called On a Disconnected Recordset

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Start a new Standard .exe project in Visual Basic. Form1 is created by default.
2. From the Project menu, choose References and then select "Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.0 Library".
3. Add the following code to your form.
   
   Note You must change UID <username> and PWD <strong password> to the correct values before you run this code. Make sure that UID has the appropriate permissions to perform this operation on the database.

         Dim cnPubs As ADODB.Connection
         Dim rsBatch As ADODB.Recordset
   
         Private Sub Form_Load()
          Dim strConn As String
          Dim strSQL As String
   
          strConn = "Provider=MSDASQL;Driver={SQL Server};" & _
                    "Server=YourServer;Database=pubs;UID=<user name>;PWD=<strong name>;"
          Set cnPubs = New ADODB.Connection
          cnPubs.CursorLocation = adUseClient
          cnPubs.Open strConn
   
          strSQL = "SELECT * FROM Authors;" & _
                   "SELECT * FROM Employee;" & _
                   "SELECT * FROM Jobs"
          Set rsBatch = New ADODB.Recordset
          rsBatch.Open strSQL, cnPubs, adOpenStatic, _
                       adLockOptimistic, adCmdText
   
          If MsgBox("Disconnect the recordset?", vbYesNo) = vbYes Then
              Set rsBatch.ActiveConnection = Nothing
          End If
   
          Do
              Debug.Print rsBatch(0).Name & " = "  rsBatch(0)
              Set rsBatch = rsBatch.NextRecordset
          Loop Until rsBatch Is Nothing
   
          cnPubs.Close
          Set cnPubs = Nothing
         End Sub
   						

4. Modify the connection string as appropriate to connect to your SQL Server.
5. Run the project. When prompted, click Yes to disconnect the recordset. You then receive the error described in the SYMPTOMS section.
6. Run the project again. When prompted, click No to keep from disconnecting the recordset. You then successfully retrieve the remaining recordsets in the batch query.
