Do While Not - syntax

I want to update multiple rows in an SQL table.
Presently, it's populating all rows with the same data based on the first
row.
It's not looping through all records one at a time.
Is this the correct syntax.

<%
rsOD 'recordset up here
%>

<%
Dim DataConn1
Set DataConn1 = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
DataConn1.Open MMSTRING
Do While Not rsOD.EOF
'SQL UPDATE statement here
DataConn1.Execute(SQL)
rsOD.MoveNext
Loop
%>

thanks!

are you sure you create the SQL Update statement using
rsOD("somefield") ???

DataConn1.Execute SQL,, 128 'this is more efficient
rsOD.MoveNext
Loop
rsOD.Close

This normally happens if you forgot to add a WHERE clause in your SQL
statement, although it's usually the last row that you finally see.
However, how do you know it's updating based on the first row? Do you have
an ORDER BY clause for your rsOD?
It's not looping through all records one at a time.
Is this the correct syntax.

<%
rsOD 'recordset up here
%>

<%
Dim DataConn1
Set DataConn1 = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
DataConn1.Open MMSTRING
Do While Not rsOD.EOF
'SQL UPDATE statement here
DataConn1.Execute(SQL)
rsOD.MoveNext
Loop
%>
Given what I said further up, you should have included the SQL statement you
are using, especially as the syntax for looping through a recordset is
correct in your example. One way to test if the loop is executing is like
this:

Dim i : i=1
Do While Not rsOD.EOF
'SQL UPDATE statement here
Response.write i & "<br>"
DataConn1.Execute(SQL)
rsOD.MoveNext
i=i+1
Loop

If none of what I've said helps you, come back to us with your SQL.
