Symbolic sub for Field name assgnment for recordsets

I'm trying to make an update to record set and update field names day01, day02, day03, day04...

I would like to perform this update by a for loop and then use recordsetname.day & itr = value... for the each iteration of the for loop...

kind of like this...

for i = 1 to countdays
recordset.edit
recordset.day & i = value 'help here
recordset.update
next i

Can anyone help with this pitiful mess?

Thanks,
Marc

Try this in its place:

for i = 1 to countdays
   SQLstring= "update tablename set day0" & i & "= " & value & " where some_condition = uniquerecord"
   database.execute SQLstring, dbFailOnError
next i

note if the value field is character, then the script changes slightly

for i = 1 to countdays
   SQLstring= "update tablename set day0" & i & "= '" & value & "' where some_condition = uniquerecord"
   database.execute SQLstring, dbFailOnError
next i
