PRB: Charset Property of ADO Stream Object May Require Microsoft Internet Explorer Upgrade (313831)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Data Access Components 2.5
- Microsoft Data Access Components 2.6
- Microsoft Data Access Components 2.7
This article was previously published under Q313831 SYMPTOMS
The Charset property of the ADO Stream object, which specifies the character set that the Stream object will use to store its data, depends on a section of the registry that may not be present on servers and workstations that are running earlier versions of Internet Explorer, such as Internet Explorer 2.0.
If you try to set the Charset property under these circumstances, you may receive the following error message:
Object or property is not capable of performing the requested operation.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the Charset property of the Stream object depends on the list of available character sets that are under the following key in the registry:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Charset RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, if the Charset list is missing from the registry, you need to install it by installing a recent version of Internet Explorer, such as Internet Explorer 5.0 or later.
STATUSThis behavior is by design.REFERENCES
