    Access - field names -- variable

    On my table i have fields like

    WorkerID
    Course1
    SD1 (startDate1)
    ED1 (enddate1)
    Course2
    SD2
    ED2

    all the way to 15.


    Now I want to store certain dates into this..so I have been trying to enter the data into the fields with this


    VB Code:
    1. dim intcounter as integer
    2. do while rssstorage.eof = false
    3.       intcounter = intcounter + 1
    4.       fieldnames = "SD" & intcounter
    5.       RsStorage.Fields(fieldnames) = Date
    6. loop

    But that doesnt work...For the record thats not a copy, i just wrote it out now..but its basically what i am trying to do

    You need to use the .AddNew method of the recordset to add a new record. Then assign values to the fields and do a .Update.
    You say you have 15 "sets" of fields. Sounds like your db is out of logical design.

    You should have a Courses table with a related table - WorkerCources. These tables would look like so.

    Worker
    -----------------------------------------
    WorkerID | First_Name | Last_Name | Age


    Courses
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    CourseID | Course_Name | Instructor | Location | Start_Date | End_Date


    WorkerCourses
    --------------------
    WorkerID | CourseID
