It does compile successfully and I do not have any nontemplate class =
with the name CCommand.
Case1 : I tried putting in
hr =CCommand<TAccessor, > TRowset>::Open(*m_pSession, wstrCmd.c_str(), =
pPropSet);

then hr return S_FALSE, the open function fails in this case.

Case 2 : It however works absolutely fine when I make the following =
change before the call:
CCommand* pcmd = dynamic_cast<CCommand*>(this);

hr = pcmd->Open(*m_pSession, wstrCmd.c_str(), pPropSet);

I fail to understand what additional thing does the dynamic cast do?

Why is it not working in Case1 and working fine in case 2?

Any idea?

Thanks and Regards

I have my derived class
CABIOleDbSet : public CCommand<TAccessor, TRowset>, public CABISet

{
...
}

hr =CCommand::Open(*m_pSession, wstrCmd.c_str(), =

pPropSet);//CRASHES

 
This should not even compile. It should be CCommand<TAccessor,
TRowset>::Open(...). Do you by any chance have a non-template class
named CCommand somewhere in your program?
