Update not seen in subsequent query

Seeing an odd situation I've not seen before.

Have VB that updates a field in a table based on a form value when a
button is clicked. Directly after the .Update, I call another
function that does some other work and, in the process, queries the
table I just updated for the record I just updated and it does not see
the update I just made.

If I run in the debugger the problem doesn't occur. It seems like the
..Update event is not yet completed before the subsequent query is
executing (running in the debugger slows execution down sufficiently
for the update to complete?)

Is this a feasible explanation? Is there a solution?

The table involved is about 10,000 records.

Try sticking in a DoEvents between the execution of the update query
and the subsequent select query. Queries execute asynchronously (I
think), so you could be trying to read the updated table before the
update is complete.

Jeff,

You probably need to issue a Refresh command somewhere to commit the change,
before calling the 2nd function.

If I run in the debugger the problem doesn't occur. It seems like the
.Update event is not yet completed before the subsequent query is
executing (running in the debugger slows execution down sufficiently
for the update to complete?)

Are the update and the query both running off the same
dbengine.worksp ace.database reference?

After realizing the integrity of my data is questionable I went back to my update queries and opened up a few. The joins I had originally created between key fields were no longer there. It was as if someone when in and deleted them. I have been using Access for 10 years and I've never seen such a thing. My temporary solution is to embed my update queries in vb as a SQL string. That way I know the SQL will not get modified. More and...

Hello PHP programmers. I had a brilliant idea on one of my pages that selects some data from my mysql database. I first set the page up to display some info and an image, just one item, with a row of data, etc. then I thought it would be nice to do a select, and perhaps an update (the title of the image) on the same page.

Greetings, I'm trying to update an address field with "standard" abbreviations so that I can do a comparison of various accounts to one another on the address. I can update a set of records for "Road" to "Rd", but when I tried to stack the update clauses, I seem to get random updates within the file. All the updates are correct, but they're incomplete. Not sure how this needs to be done, I added a TOP statement but that didn't work. ...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
