BUG: 16-bit ODBC Connections Fail on Large Databases

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Start 16-bit edition of Visual Basic 4.0, or if it is already running, click New Project on the File menu.
2. Copy the following code to the Code window of the Form1 form:

         Option Explicit
   
         Private Sub Form_Load()
         Dim db As Database
         Dim rs As Recordset
   
         'Change the following two lines to connect to
         ' your ODBC database.
         Set db = OpenDatabase("", False, False, "odbc;")
         Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("select * from bugs")
         rs.MoveLast
         Debug.Print "The End"    'To show you the end of the program.
   
         End Sub
   						

3. On the Run menu, click Start or press the F5 key to start the program. After connecting to your ODBC database, the program displays the following error message:
   Run-time error '3393.'
   Can't perform join, group, or sort. Combined fields are too long.
