If I understand this correctly, then you are trying to execute your UDF
as if it were a sproc. That won`t work.
Try some variant instead...
SELECT * FROM myUDF WHERE parm1 = etc.

Subject: [dba-SQLServer] SQL Server 2000 - User Defined Functions -
CallingFrom Visual Basic 6.0
To all,
I have just created my very first UDF in SQL Server 2000 basically I
want to use it to return a print address to a string variable in Visual
Basic 6.0, my function is as below:
CREATE FUNCTION [gng_create_PrintAddress]
(
@strLine1 [nvarchar](255),
@strLine2 [nvarchar](255),
@strLine3 [nvarchar](255),
@strLine4 [nvarchar](255),
@strLine5 [nvarchar](255),
@strLine6 [nvarchar](255),
@strPC [nvarchar](255)
)
RETURNS
[nvarchar](2000)
AS
BEGIN
RETURN ISNULL(@strLine1+CHAR(13),'') +
ISNULL(@strLine2+CHAR(13),'') +
ISNULL(@strLine3+CHAR(13),'') +
ISNULL(@strLine4+CHAR(13),'') +
ISNULL(@strLine5+CHAR(13),'') +
ISNULL(@strLine6+CHAR(13),'') +
ISNULL(@strPC+CHAR(13),'')
END
In VB6 I have a data environment with a SQLConn connection, and if I
want to execute a stored procedure to return a recordset I do something
like the following:
Dim rsData As ADODB.Recordset
Set rsData = DEGNG.SQLConn.Execute("[SP Name]") and give it the
parameters if required.....
So I thought I could have something like below:
Dim strAdd As String
strAdd = DEGNG.SQLConn.Execute("gng_create_PrintAddress '" & Line1 & "',
'" & Line2 & "','" & Line3 & "', '" & Line4 & "', '" & Line5 & "', '" &
Line6 & "', '" & PCode & "'")
And then strAdd would contain the print address, but it give me an error
saying: Type Mismatch.
can anyone point me in the right direction here ?
Thanks in advance for any help on this, as I would really like to start
learning more about UDF's and using them instead of modules in VB6
