Hello guys,

I'm currently trying to rework an older project. It uses the Dao interface to connect to a MS-Access database. It now needs to connect to a SQL CE Database using the ADO driver.

However, I keep getting the IDispatch error, see below.

CJapRecordsets is a class with membervariables that inherits from _RecordsetPtr.

I'm not sure if it should inherit _RecordsetPtr or CADORecordset.

I did try to change it to CADORecordset(this seems to be working out better - there are functions that do not exist in _RecordsetPtr even though I need them). However I get an IDispatch Error #3105 here...

rs = new CJapRecordsets(Global::MyDatabase);

		if(!Global::MyDatabase->IsOpen())					
		{
					Global::MyDatabase->Open("Provider=Microsoft.SQLSERVER.CE.OLEDB.3.5;Data Source=C:\JAP-MAIN.sdf;");	
		}
		
		

		if(!rs->IsOpen())
		{
			// This causes the IDispatch error	
			rs->Open(Global::MyDatabase->GetActiveConnection().GetInterfacePtr(),"SELECT * FROM Gesamt", 1);
		}

I can open the database successfully and check if the recordset is open or closed. However, upon trying to execute a select query, I keep getting an IDispatch error.

I've never seen a .sdf file opened with MFC. ( but ... )

Is it possible to set an ODBC entry to that file and hit it through ODBC?
If so, can you see it when you use MS Query?

You can open a .sdf file in MFC using ADO(I'm sure).

Using ODBC is NOT an option.

The program will be,together with the database, on a CD. Meaning you can directly browse the database using the program - there is no option of setting up an ODBC database(not possible for this project).
