If a WITH statement is used to store an empty string value to one field and an uninitialized string to the very next field, an error will occur when using the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Jet 3.51 or 4.00 that shipped with MDAC versions prior to 2.5. The error that will occur is as follows on version MDAC versions prior to 2.5:
'Errors Occurred'
On MDAC 2.5 installations using the OLE DB Provider for Jet 3.51 the following error will occur:
'Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.'
No error will occur on MDAC 2.5 using the OLE DB Provider for Jet 4.0 that shipped with it, specifically version 4.0.2927.4.

If it is still necessary to use the OLE DB Provider for Jet 3.51 or MDAC versions prior to 2.5 then it will be necessary to make sure all variables are properly initialized. Otherwise this problem is resolved in the OLE DB Provider for Jet 4.0 that shipped with MDAC 2.5, specifically version 4.0.2927.4.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
NOTE: Change the DBPath variable to point to an .mdb file.
| 1. | Start Visual Basic 6.0. |
| 2. | Create a Standard EXE Project. |
| 3. | Set the following Project Reference:
Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects Library
|
| 4. | Paste the following code into the default form:
Dim CN As ADODB.Connection
Dim RS As ADODB.Recordset
Dim strSQL As String
Dim DBPath As String
Dim emptystring As String 'If this is initialized it does not error.
'emptystring = ""
Set CN = New ADODB.Connection
Set RS = New ADODB.Recordset
DBPath = "D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98\NWIND.MDB"
On Error Resume Next 'for table drop & creation
With CN
.ConnectionString = "Data Source=" & DBPath
.Provider = "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.3.51"
.Open
.Execute "drop table testit"
.Execute "Create table TestIt (Fld1 Text(10), Fld2 Integer, Fld3 Text(10))"
End With
On Error GoTo 0 'for table drop & creation
strSQL = "select * from Testit"
RS.Open strSQL, CN, adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic
RS.AddNew
With RS
!Fld1 = ""
!Fld3 = emptystring '"Errors Occurred."
End With
