When I get an _com_error condition for the AddNew() method the errorMsg
returns "Bad Ptr", so I don't get any information on the error. Is there
something I'm doing wrong? This code works in other situations okay. Is
there
something unique about AddNew()?

Thanks, Neil

To adequately retrieve ADO errors you have to enumerate them from the Errors
collection.

AddNew() creates an Insert statement from the initial SQL so there is no way
to know what may be happening in this case, based on code presented.

I have to echo Mr. Howe's comments. (And you have been told this before)
