Update Error

31 New Member
I am trying to update a record but I keep receiving an error, "Data type mismatch in criteria expression." Here is the code:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1.  DoCmd.RunSQL ("Update Caller2 SET Ext = '" & Me!txtExt & "' where CallerID ='" & GlobalCID & "'") 
It has something to do with the where clause. The code "worked" when I forgot to include it. I need to be able to update a bunch of fields, but broke them down one by one to debug, and reached the conclusion it is the where clause. GlobalCID is being assigned properly. The only thing I can think of is CallerID is an autonumber, but I don;t know.

Any help??

If CallerID is a number then you have to leave off those single quotes you're using to enclose it. The single quotes tell the system that it's a string and will treat it as such.

I want to be able to generate SQL statements that will go through a list of data, effectively row by row, enquire on the database if this exists in the selected table- If it exists, then the colums must be UPDATED, if not, they must be INSERTED.

Well, here is some weirdness. First, I noticed that I have 2 Set keywords (silly me). so I removed the 2nd "Set" but still got a syntax error. Then I removed the Where clause, and now it works perfectly. Is this correct? Or am I just getting lucky? I'm not completely clear on the fundamentals here. I update the table in my dataset, then I update the table on the server through the dataAdapter. I think I have a handle on the...

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.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
