SYMPTOMS
While trying to add queries using the UserConnection Designer in Visual
Basic 5.0, you may see an error message stating:
"Unable to create the type information for this connection". Closing the UserConnection Designer at this point may lead to a GPF.
CAUSE
This problem can be caused by installing the latest version of RDO 2.0 that
ships with many of the Visual Studio 6.0 products without installing the
latest version of the UserConnection Designer.
This problem does not occur if the version of the UserConnection Designer
that ships with Visual Basic 6.0 is installed.
RESOLUTION
For Visual Basic 5.0 customers who do not have access to Visual Basic 6.0,
the following file updates the UserConnection Designer so that it will work
properly with the new RDO 2.0 components:
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Visual Basic 5.0.
This problem was corrected in version 6.0.
