Drag-and-Drop problem related to LCconnection [Steps to reproduce]

If you instantiate an LCconnection using the “oledb” argument, and let this object pass out of scope without calling connect, Notes drag-and-drop stops working.

If you call connect, the problem does not occur even if the connection is unsuccessful.

This problem does not occur with the “oracle8” connector. This is the only other connector we tested.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Using 6.5.5 in Windows 2000, create a form.

  2. Add the following the Options event:

uselsx “*lsxlc”

  1. Add the following to Postopen:

dim x as LCconnection

set x = new LCconnection(“oledb”)

  1. Preview the form.

  2. Close the document. Drag and drop no longer works.

There is nothing in 6.5.5fp1 or fp2 that appears to be related to this. I do not know if this also happens under XP but it probably does as most of ours users are on XP and that’s how we found it.

This does not happen in 6.5.3.

Carry on.
