    Did you do a .AddNew and populate the fields with data?

    Yes I do. Here is the code:
    Code:
        With Data1.Recordset
        .AddNew
        !AveragePrice = Av
        .Update
        End With
    Thanks

    You forgot to add the primary key field value.

    Re: Index or primary key can't contain a Null value?

    You might also get an error saying invalid use of null, for the other items in your database.

    Add all the items in your code and say something like for example.

    VB Code:
    1. !AveragePrice = Av & vbnullstring

    To prevent any other errors
