Replace ! any solutions

Hi !

I was not able to find the proper answer to the replace command in VB using MSACCESS. Replacing all the records or range of records with a single syntax like "UPDATE ITEM SET QTY = 0 ". this command gives me the error.



Please help

thankx

Can you be more specific what kind of error it is?

In the Query design make sure you have selected the correct table and that you are passing the right data type to the field /e.g. no missmatch like passing 0 to a string/

But I required the syntax so that in a single command or sets of command all the qty is set to 0

This "Update item set qty = 0 " is working when I use directly in Visdata (Visual data manager in VB) sql statement, but through vb program it is given error when I refresh.


My syntax

f1.strRSname = "update item set qty= 0"
Data2.DatabaseName = f1.strDBname
Data2.RecordSource = f1.strRSname
Data2.Refresh

think the problem is that u have to do an Execute on the SQL statement, not try to set it as the recordsource of a datacontrol.

try something like this:

VB Code:

Data2.Database.Execute "update item set qty= 0"

Absolutely correct.

I didn't know you were seting recordset to that! :eek: This is an action query and you can not set a recordset object to it! It can only get executed! :)
