ACCESS FEED: Re: [MS_AccessPros] Update table using a recordset

Hi Crystal,

Sorry about the history. Let me see how best I can explain what I am trying to accomplish.

I have the original "Dlookup" code on the 'Save' button on an Invoice form. The code did what it was supposed to do which was to get the SeqNo (unique key) in the table tblAllPols based on the criteria i.e. vard, vno, add2 etc. Once the row has been found, the row would be updated with the InvNo, InvDate and currenc from the current invoice form.

Originally, there would be only one (1) row to update as the criteria was unique but now, due to other changes in the application, more than one (1) row can have the same criteria and I need to update all the rows found with the same criteria with the InvNo, InvDate and currenc from the current form. That's when I thought I would create a recordset which would find the SeqNo for all rows with the criteria and update it. Using the recordset I created I was able to identify the SeqNos but the rows in the table are not being updated.

How best can I accomplish this?

Regards Toukey

hi Tourkey,

please be sure to keep history when you post. Here is what you wrote:

Thank you for your responses.

Initially I had a DLookup code that was working fine based on the criteria e.g.:

sno = DLookup("[SeqNo]", "tblAllPols", "[tblAllPols].[Issuedate] = # " & vard & " #" & vno & add2 & add3 & add4 & add8)

uquery = "update tblAllPols set InvDate = # " & varx & " # where [tblAllPols].[SeqNo] = " & sno

uquery1 = "update tblAllPols set InvNo = " & x & " where [tblAllPols].[SeqNo] = " & sno

uquery2 = "update tblAllPols set Currenc = '" & xxx & "' where [tblAllPols].[SeqNo] = " & sno

However the above code only updates one row in the table.? I want to be able to update more that one row so I thought a loop would be better.

I am not getting any errors in the code I posted initially but the problem is that it's not updating the table.

What is the best way to handle what I want to do?

Regards

you're welcome

re: "I want to be able to update more that one row so I thought a loop would be better."

What is the logic you are using to know what to update? Could that same logic not be put into the WHERE clause for SQL too?

is SeqNo not on your form? why are you using a DLookup to get it?? and what is the grouping above the sequence number?

Where do the other parts like add2 and add3 come from?

Is this a main form with a subform(s)? What is the RecordSource? It is hard to help without knowing more about your structure and intention.

Could you explain a little bit about what your application does, and what this form is collecting?

thanks

have an awesome day,
crystal

hi Toukey,

adding on,
this statement affects the record that is showing on the form:
?DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70
not the record in the recordset. If the record on the form is what you want to change, instead of DoMenuItem (which is? archaic), and to be sure it needs to be saved, use this:

with me
?if .dirty then
?.dirty = false
?end if
end with

you should release your object variables. After
?rst.Close
?rst1.Close
you should have:
set rst = nothing
set rst1 = nothing
set dbs = nothing

like Duane, I am also wondering if an update query would work better. What is the logic you are trying to accomplish?

Toukey,
Have you tried any trouble-shooting such as setting break points, debug.print, or others? What were your results?

Is there a reason you didn't simply use an update query in place of a recordset?

Hi,

The intent of the code below is to update 3 values in the table "tblAllPols" based on the values found in the variable strsql1.? I am getting the correct rows when I run through the code in the "For inti........" statement but it's just not updating the table with the InvoiceNo, Date and Currency.

Set dbs = CurrentDb
strsql1 = "SELECT tblAllPols.SeqNo FROM tblAllPols WHERE [tblAllPols].[Issuedate] = # " & vard & " #" & vno & add2 & add3 & add4 & add8
strSQL = "SELECT * from [tblAllPols]"
Set rst = dbs.OpenRecordset(strSQL)
Set rst1 = dbs.OpenRecordset(strsql1)
rst1.MoveLast
rst1.MoveFirst

noorecords = rst1.RecordCount
For inti = 0 To (noorecords - 1)
? ? ? ? burgarray(0, inti) = rst1!SeqNo
? ? ? ? rst1.MoveNext
? ? Next

saverec = MsgBox("Do you want to save this record?", vbYesNo)
? ? DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70

If saverec = vbYes Then
For inti = 0 To (noorecords - 1)
? ? With rst
? ? ? ? .Edit
? ? ? ? !InvNo = Me!InvoiceNo
? ? ? ? !InvDate = Me!Date
? ? ? ? !Currenc = Me!Currency
? ? ? ? .Update
? ? End With
Next
?rst.Close
?rst1.Close
? ??
? ??
End If

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated
