I got a runtime error 3705 "Operation is not allowed when the object is open". When I click debug, it highlights the connection object I made in the module. I have a form named frmUser. When I click mnu_User from the mdiForm, I got a runtime error 3705, but when I set the frmUser as the Start-up object in the project properties, I didn't get any error.. The error only occurs when I call the frmUser from the mdiForm.

Here is the code for the connection:

Public conn As New ADODB.Connection

Public Sub S_OPEN_DB()
conn.ConnectionString = _     ' It
"Provider = msdasql.1;" & _   ' Highlights
"data source = kath_cn"       ' Here
conn.Open
End Sub

Here is the code for the frmUser:

Private Sub Form_Load()
S_OPEN_DB
S_LOAD_flxUser
End Sub

Public Sub S_LOAD_flxUser()
Dim rsLoad As ADODB.Recordset
Dim a As Integer

With flxUser

.Clear
.Rows = 24
.Cols = 6
.ColWidth(0) = 300

.ColWidth(1) = 1000: .TextMatrix(0, 1) = "User ID"
.ColWidth(2) = 2000: .TextMatrix(0, 2) = "User Type"
.ColWidth(3) = 2000: .TextMatrix(0, 3) = "Username"
.ColWidth(4) = 2000: .TextMatrix(0, 4) = "Password"
.ColWidth(5) = 4000: .TextMatrix(0, 5) = "Name"

End With

a = 1

Set rsLoad = New ADODB.Recordset
rsLoad.Open "select * from user_tab order by UserID", conn, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic

With rsLoad

Do While .EOF = False
flxUser.TextMatrix(a, 1) = !UserID
flxUser.TextMatrix(a, 2) = !UserType
flxUser.TextMatrix(a, 3) = !UserName
flxUser.TextMatrix(a, 4) = !Password
flxUser.TextMatrix(a, 5) = !UserFullName
.MoveNext

If .EOF = False Then
flxUser.Rows = flxUser.Rows + 1
a = a + 1
End If

Loop
.Close
End With
End Sub

Hey, I already solved this.. but I have another problem..

How can I pass/combine for example, the name..
I have fields in my database: LName, FName, MName, and FullName

LName, FName, and MName all have data and I want to combine those data and place it to FullName.. How can I do this?

I tried this code but it doesn't work.

strSql = "select LName" & ", " & "FName" & " " & "MName" & "." & "as FullName from user_tab"

Thanks in Advance..

commented: Some kudos for solving your problem! +6
Fullname = Rs.Fields("Lname") & " " & Rs.Fields("Fname") & " " & Rs.Fields("Mname")

'if Fullname is also a database table field, change it e.g Rs.Fullname

You should specify what field of the table what you are trying to get the data from.

Same thing if you are trying to display data from different fields in a control like textbox or labels.

Text1.Text = Rs.Fields("Lname") & " " & Rs.Fields("Fname") & " " & Rs.Fields("Mname")
