Copy records to another recordset using Active Server Page - asp-classic

Question

I'm programming in Classic ASP. I'm trying to do the paging. My backend is SQL CE 3.5. Unfortunetly, it doesn't support paging in SQL Query (Like row_number() in sql server).
So I go with ASP Paging. But when i ask to the recordset, give me the first 10 records by setting the rs.PageSize and rs.AbsolutePage and all, it gives me all records. So I planned to copy only first 10 rows from the resultant recordset to another new recordset. So I coded like below:
Set rsTemp = CopyRecordsetStructure(objRs)
rsTemp.Open
iRecordsShown = 0
Set objFields = objRs.Fields
intFieldsCount = objFields.Count-1
Do While iRecordsShown < intPageSize And Not objRs.EOF
rsTemp.AddNew
For Idx = 0 To intFieldsCount
rsTemp.Fields(Idx).Value = objRs.Fields(Idx).Value
Next
rsTemp.Update
iRecordsShown = iRecordsShown + 1
objRs.MoveNext
Loop
Public Function CopyRecordsetStructure(ByVal rs)
Dim rsTemp
Set rsTemp = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
Set objFields = rsTemp.Fields
intFieldCount = objFields.Count - 1
For Idx = 0 To intFieldCount
rsTemp.Fields.Append objFields(Idx).Name, _
objFields(Idx).Type, _
objFields(Idx).DefinedSize
Next
Set CopyRecordsetStructure = rsTemp
End Function
The issue is i could not open the" rsTemp". It throws me error
The connection cannot be used to perform this operation. It is either closed or invalid in this context.
If I use some dummy query and connection it doesn't work.
Please help to copy the records from one recordset to another new record set.
Thanks in advance
Ganesh.

Answer 1

Not sure, but this looks wrong
Set objFields = rsTemp.Fields
Shouldn't it be
Set objFields = rs.Fields

Answer 2

With the comments and fixed in the above comments, the function should be updated Set objFields = rs.Fields to:
Usage:
Dim rsTemp
Set rsTemp = CopyRecordset(rsPadicon)
Update Code
Public Function CopyRecordset(rs)
Dim rsTemp, objFields, intFieldsCount, intPageSize
Set rsTemp = CopyRecordsetStructure(rs)
rsTemp.Open
Set objFields = rs.Fields
intFieldsCount = objFields.Count-1
response.write("<li> rs.RecordCount :" & rs.RecordCount & "</li>")
' response.write("<li> intFieldsCount :" & intFieldsCount & "</li>")
rs.MoveFirst
Do While Not rs.EOF
rsTemp.AddNew
Dim i
For i = 0 to intFieldsCount 'use i as a counter
' response.write("<li> Name :" & rs.Fields(i).Name & "</li>")
' response.write("<li> Value :" & rs.Fields(i).Value & "</li>")
if Not IsNull(rs.Fields(i).Value) then
rsTemp.Fields(i).Value = rs.Fields(i).Value
End if
Next
rsTemp.Update
rs.MoveNext
Loop
Set CopyRecordset = rsTemp
End Function
Public Function CopyRecordsetStructure(ByVal rs)
Dim rsTemp, objFields, intFieldCount, Idx
Set rsTemp = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
Set objFields = rs.Fields
intFieldCount = objFields.Count - 1
For Idx = 0 To intFieldCount
rsTemp.Fields.Append objFields(Idx).Name, _
objFields(Idx).Type, _
objFields(Idx).DefinedSize
Next
Set CopyRecordsetStructure = rsTemp
End Function
