I have exactly the same problem. Apparently if you use a Case When statement in the select the same thing happens if you try to modify that column in the recordset Thank you very much.

Unfortunately, the deliberate attention to testing, testing, and more testing is something I do more for client projects than I do for my own -- it's not a good thing, for sure, and it bites me in the arse more times than I'd like to admit.

From SQL Server, to Oracle, to Java, even .Net - there are always outlier cases where if you're doing just exactly the wrong thing in just exactly the wrong place, you're screwed. Sometimes that means something truly obscure, sometimes it means something slightly more common, but the pitfalls always seem to be there in any product of sufficient complexity. Having just recently started upgrading a product I develop with many thousands of users; I can say from experience that as much as you might try, its pretty much impossible to think of every possible scenario when the user base gets large enough. Even with testing until you're blue in the face, something, however small, will slip through. It just sucks when you happen to be the person to find that small crack to fall through.
