Re: ADO.CreateADOCommand produces "Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly installed"
Support came through. The issue is that where as before SQL Server Native Client 10 and 11 used to live together side by side, now when you install the Client 11 redistributable on either Windows8 or Windows10. It uninstalls any version of 10 you might have. So I had SQL Server Native Client 11 installed instead of 10, and had SQLNCLI10 specified in my connection string as the provider name. Changing this to SQLNCLI11 has fixed my issue. The lesson here is to see which native drivers you have installed, and check your connection string's provider name.4.3KViews1like0CommentsRe: ADO.CreateADOCommand produces "Provider cannot be found.

Thanks for the reply Dan. i have added a User DSN and Systyem DSN sucessfully and tested them sucessfully in the ODBC Data Source Administrator panel, but still no luck. Does this have any direct relationship to my ADO.CreateADOCommand object and connection string?4.2KViews0likes1CommentADO.CreateADOCommand produces "Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly installed"
I am using ADO.CreateADOCommand to connect to a Microsoft SQL 2005 server, but keep getting the error message "Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly installed". This script still works on my old Win7 machine, but not on my new Win10 one so there is something I haven't installed, but I do have a 32bit copy of "SQL Server Native Client 11.0" installed (I can see that in the Drivers tab of the 32Bit ODBC Admin panel). Any ideas on what I am missing?Solved4.3KViews0likes3CommentsGoogle has now removed npapi support from Chrome, what is SmartBear doing about Chrome support?
Months ago Google made it very clear that they were going to remove Netscape Plugin Application Programming Interface support from Chrome. In that time, what has SmartBear been doing to make sure that now, when support has been removed, I can still run tests against Chrome?Solved5.6KViews0likes21CommentsRead XML and Json data returned from WebAPI
My lead developer has had an idea that rather than calling the data we need for testing directly frome the database using an ADO object, we should call a WebAPI that will return Json or XML. Does anybody know how to do this in Test Complete?Solved2.3KViews0likes2CommentsStop current test on error option
At the moment I can enable 'Stop Test on Error' which causes my tests to stop if an error is encountered, but I think it would be useful to have an option called 'Stop current test on error'. This would behave like the 'Stop current test only' option on the Stop Execution command, but would be set on the project level. This would allow me to setup a test to run a hundred times and if an error happened during one of those runs the test would be stopped and the next test started. This example would give me a good statistic of how reliable a test or a part of our software was. Also being able to abort tests early when they start to fail would give an error report for the failed test, but still allow the ones that are stable, to pass.2.1KViews2likes3Comments
