Visual Basic Q&A

Symptoms
Pressing the ESC key while the cursor is in the SQL text box of theGeneral Tab in the property page of the Remote Data Control causes a blankGeneral tab. When you click the Colors tab and then click the General tabagain, an application error occurs and Visual Basic ends. The SQL text boxcan be empty or contain characters. Clicking the Cancel button on thewindow correctly closes the window. This behavior only occurs under theWindows 95 operating system.To work around this behavior, programmatically set the properties ofremote data control or use the Properties window of the Remote Data Objectto set the properties.
