Exporting the results of a module into an already created field in another table

153 100+
Okay so the following is a question I posted earlier...to clarify what I'm trying to do here...I simply want the printed output to be put into a new field in a different table that's already created as recSet2...I'm assuming this is relatively simple and my syntax just is incorrect or perhaps the way I'm opening my connections allows for a read only connection? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.


Hey guys...the following code doesn't seem to work refering to the line

It says the field is not updatable...I've never updated a table from a module before so I'm not sure if I am doing this right but the code is pasted below (the variable 'x' has nothing to do with anything as of now, it's something I will need later)(also no need to read the commentary it's more for my own purposes since this is still a learning experience for me):

UntilCompletion = DateDiff("d", Date, recSet1.Fields("EndDate"))
Debug.Print UntilCompletion
recSet2.Fields("DateDifference") = UntilCompletion
recSet1.MoveNext
x = (x + 1)
Loop

'Clearing recSet1 and Con1 (Connection1)
recSet1.Close
recSet2.Close
con1.Close
con2.Close
Set con1 = Nothing
Set con2 = Nothing
Set recSet1 = Nothing
Set recSet2 = Nothing

End Function
