Update instead of Insert

I am using the following to do an INSERT if a record does not exist:

SaveMyData = "INSERT INTO clients (FirstName, LastName, Email, SSN) IN '\\
server\contacts.mdb' SELECT [Forms![client printout]![FirstName], Forms!
[client printout]![LastName], Forms![client printout]![email], Forms![client
printout]![SSN]"

I am trying to write an UPDATE to update all info if the record does exist
but I can not figure out how to do an update for a network database. Can
someone give me the syntax?

UPDATE works on linked tables so a network database should be no
problem if a link to the table you want to perform the update on is
properly linked.
create the UPDATE syntax by creating a new update query in the
database window.
after you have set all the parameters, change to SQL view and copy the
sql statement to your code with DoCmd RunSQL "......"

You got the path wrong. It should be \\server\share\contacts.mdb.

Personally I never use this syntax, but rather use attached tables.
