how do u show updates to a grid?

:)

Private Sub dbgResp_AfterUpdate()
Dim selectS As String

rstResults.MoveFirst
While rstResults.EOF = False
With rstResults
.Edit
!TimeDiff = "blah"
.Update
End With
rstResults.MoveNext
Wend
'something missing here
End Sub

what i want this to do is, each time the user changes a cell on my dbgResp datagrid, i want it to change the timediff column to say blah, :) all good.

but i want it to also update the grid, to show the changes, i tried doing a refresh, how can i make it show the new "blah" value?

okay try doing something like this

VB Code:

Private Sub dbgResp_AfterUpdate() 
Dim selectS As String 
 
rstResults.MoveFirst 
 
Do Until  rstResults.EOF 
     
    With rstResults 
          .Edit 
          !TimeDiff = "blah" 
          .Update 
     End With 
 
     rstResults.MoveNext 
Loop
 
dbgResp.ReBind
 
End Sub

you should use a do loop instead a while wend as a do loop is more robust and efficient method.

Well technically this is the fastest method of going through a recordset!
Using rudvs2 code!

VB Code:

Private Sub dbgResp_AfterUpdate() 
Dim selectS As String 
 
rstResults.MoveLast
intRecCount=rstResults.RecordCount
rstResults.MoveFirst
 
For intCounter=1 To intRecCount
  
    With rstResults 
          .Edit 
          !TimeDiff = "blah" 
          .Update 
     End With 
 
  rstResults.MoveNext
Next intCounter
 
dbgResp.ReBind
 
End Sub

Bloddy nzenders taking over the place!;) :p

Bloddy Aussies always having to have the last say :D

lol

whew, stupid lab technician made me make some stupid bags with the laminator, how rude, pfft

neway, i turned that code into a for next an all :) very cool, but it still doesnt really help me, i tried had a rebind on it already, but it didnt seem to work

??

in fact it as a rebind and a requery on it at the mo, have a look :



For i = 1 To RecCount

CurrDate = rstThisTest.Fields("Date")
If IsNull(CurrDate) Then

Else
CurrTime = rstThisTest.Fields("Time")
If IsNull(CurrTime) Then

Else
CurrDateTime = CurrDate + CurrTime
CurrDateTime = CDate(CurrDateTime)
TimeD = DateDiff("h", OrigDateTime, CurrDateTime)

With rstThisTest
.Edit
!TimeDiff = TimeD
.Update
End With
End If
End If

rstThisTest.MoveNext
Next i

rstThisTest.Requery
dbgResp.ReBind

End Sub

just to be a pain in the rectum I reformatted your code again to make it easier to follow

didnt fix your prob though :)

VB Code:

For i = 1 To RecCount
 
CurrDate = rstThisTest.Fields("Date")
 
    Select Case IsNull(CurrDate)
 
        Case Is = True
            Exit Sub
        
        Case Else
    
        CurrTime = rstThisTest.Fields("Time")
 
        Select Case IsNull(CurrTime)
        
            Case Is = True
                Exit Sub
 
            Case Else
                CurrDateTime = CurrDate + CurrTime
                CurrDateTime = CDate(CurrDateTime)
                TimeD = DateDiff("h", OrigDateTime, CurrDateTime)
 
                With rstThisTest
                    .Edit
                    !TimeDiff = TimeD
                    .Update
                End With
        End Select
        
    End Select
 
    rstThisTest.MoveNext
 
Next i
 
rstThisTest.Requery
dbgResp.ReBind

yeah he's right

:P te he he

hahaha

nonono :) that's what u told me to do yesterday, it doesnt like that tho, comes up method or datamember not found, it doesnt reconise the .refresh method for my recordset

mind u, when i go type

dim rstblah as...

it gives me recordset 3 times in the list of choices, does that mean they're all different things with the same name? how on earth am i ment to know which one to pick?

Sorry forgot!
Are u using ado or dao or what??

If adodb you should pick like:

Private rs As ADODB.Recordset

then set it!

later b :)

i think it must be dao, because now i get an errors on this line further back

the old datatype mismatch :)

Set rstThisTest = dbsRespiration_Testing.OpenRecordset(selectS)
how can i turn it all into ado? is it a mission?

Depends how big your project is!

Your not using any datacontrols are you?

If not just check the Project/Referneces menu and see which data object is ticked!
I.e Microsoft Data Object Library 4.0 = DAO

Later
b :)

to turn it into ado from dao shouldnt be to muc hard work

however if you are using a datacontrol (this uses dao) it might be a bit harder

You could always try using the ado datacontrol (ughh) but i would recomend that you get stuck into writing the code yourself and using the ado dataobject

to create aan ado connection you need to do the following


First go to the references option in the priject menu of vb and add a reference to the Microsoft Activex Data Object Library

VB Code:

Dim Rs As ADODB.RecordSet
 
Set Rs = New ADODB.RecordSet
 
Rs.ActiveConnection = "Provider=Microsoft.JET.OLEDB.3.51;Data Source=" & your database path goes here
Rs.Open "SELECT * From your table", , adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic
 
'to retreive or set record values it is like this
myVar = Rs.Fields("Myfield").Value
 
Rs.Fields("MyField").Value = myVar
 
'you do not need to invoke an edit to replace values just place an update after changing them
 
Rs.Update
 
'to add records
 
With Rs
    .Add
    .Fields("MyField").Value = myVar
End With
 
'there is of coarse a heap more than just that but that gives you the basics

perfect, i could hug u! but i wont :), now all i have to do is change all my blah to that :)

funfun

thanks heaps :)

*cough*
show off
*cough*

;) :p

shhh! dont breathe i think it's almost working :)

i havent changed it all over tho, i realised i hadnt tired refreshing the ado it was connected to, ah ha :)

so i have the timediff showing, only it's only behind, it only shows 1-3 or 4 ...

ah, u guys are so lovely

man that was full of typos, only it's ONE behind, and 1-3 OF 4
hopeless :)

im nearly there :)

does anybody know why i might be not showing the last one? it only displays the time difference, after u update the next row, ie. when u have done rows 1,2 and 3, it will show the result of 1 and 2, once u do # 4, 1,2 and 3 are displayed

Private Sub dbgResp_AfterUpdate()
Dim OrigDateTime As Variant
Dim CurrDateTime As Variant
Dim RefreshBookmark As Variant
Dim TimeD As Single
Dim selectS As String
Dim CurrTime As Variant
Dim CurrDate As Variant
Dim Bmark As Variant
Dim RecCount As Integer
Dim i As Integer

'get initial date/time
OrigDateTime = testdate
OrigDateTime = OrigDateTime + " " + testtime
OrigDateTime = CDate(OrigDateTime)

rstThisTest.Requery

For i = 1 To NumbTests

CurrDate = rstThisTest.Fields("Date")
If IsNull(CurrDate) Then

Else
CurrTime = rstThisTest.Fields("Time")
If IsNull(CurrTime) Then

Else
CurrDateTime = CurrDate + CurrTime
CurrDateTime = CDate(CurrDateTime)
TimeD = DateDiff("h", OrigDateTime, CurrDateTime)

With rstThisTest
.Edit
!TimeDiff = TimeD
.Update
End With
End If
End If

rstThisTest.MoveNext
Next i

'rstThisTest.Requery
adoResp.Refresh
dbgResp.Refresh

just a small peice of house keeping first

when linking strings together instead of using the + operator you chould use the & operator use the + for numerical xpressions and math formulae. It makes it much easier when scanning your code to determin that you are simply joining 2 strings together and not trying to join add numerical values.

it also means you can make say a var holding the number 1 and join it with a var holding the number 2 to make a value of 12 instead of 3 lol :)

PS i have a feeling your problems may be coming from the fact that you are using a mish mash of datacontrols and dataobjects to manipulate the database. If you settle for using just one or the other things might start to settle down a bit :D

but then I have been known to be wrong

your probably right, damn me and my mishmash :)

hehe, ooh &, i didnt know about that, that'll save me heaps of mucking around, heh, i can delete half me variables now :)

i can send u that email either, it's the db, it's to big to fit on a disk or a hotmail thingy, i duno why, theres only 2 stupid tables :-/ argh :)

rename your db for a mo run the visual data manager in the add ins menu of your vb and from file select compact database browse to your renamed db and select it for the new db name it will want put in the old name that your db was this will result in you having a compacted db with the original file name
