All,

Using BCB6, MS Access Tables 2000

The first time of every run I try to open a TADOTable with direct access I 
get the following error message:

...raised exception class EVariantTypeCastError with message 'Could not 
convert variant of type (Null) into type (String)'

from my line:

ADOTable1->Active=true;

This error happens with or without data in rows. In other words, with data 
in rows no columns are NULL so this error shouldn't be possible.

This error only shows up with the IDE running. It doesn't actually throw an 
exception within the program. After this line, the table is indeed active 
and can be written and read from.

Anyone know what's going on here?

TIA,

John
