Can't Make a Simple Change to a Record in a Single Table

Hello

I'm trying to save data to an Existing Record in a single table. These
fields
are not on my Form.
It is not saving the data to the record ???


Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Set db = CurrentDb
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM [T-ADXOR] Where ID = 19"
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL, dbOpenForwardOnly)
If rs.BOF = False And rs.EOF = False Then
[Field1] = strPassStamp
[Field2] = strPermStamp
MsgBox [Field1] '<------- The values are showing but not saving
MsgBox [Field2] '<------- " "
End If

ALSO I am in desperate need of good reference material advice. I spend
ALL day
hunting for syntax & rules information. Anything one can recommend?

ThankYou

add the two statements. I'd also qualify the two statements
explicitly
[color=blue]
> If rs.BOF = False And rs.EOF = False Then[/color]
rs.edit '<---- added[color=blue]
> rs![Field1] = strPassStamp '<---- improved
> rs![Field2] = strPermStamp '<---- improved[/color]
rs.update '<---- added[color=blue]
> End If[/color]


as to documentation, buy or borrow Access Developer's Handbook

Suggestions:

1. Make sure you have:
Option Explicit
at the top of every module. This will prevent Access from just making up a
variable for any name it does not recognise.

2. Before you can change the fields of a record, you need to Edit, and
afterwards to Update:
rs.Edit
'change the fields here
rs.Update

3. Refer to the fields of the recordset like this:
rs![Field1] = strPassStamp

Instead of opening a recordset, you could also do it by executing an Update
query statement.

ThankYou

Took Your Advice and It Worked!

re: Can't Make a Simple Change to a Record in a Single Table

CurrentDb.Execute "UPDATE [T-ADXOR] SET [Field1] = '" & strPassStamp &
"', [Field2] = '" & strPermStamp & "' WHERE ID = 19"

(which will result in this query string being executed)
UPDATE [T-ADXOR] SET [Field1] = 'qwerty', [Field2] = 'asdfgh' WHERE ID
= 19
assuming
strPassStamp = "qwerty"
strPermStamp = "asdfgh"

I discourage the use of DAO Recordsets except in unusual circimstances.
They are slow, inefficient, dangerous and require (too) many lines of
code.
