ADO: Novice question

I'm new to DB programming, and I just started using ADO.
I know how to open connection, recordsets, read fields, etc...
But how do I write to a specified field?
I'm opening my recordset like so:

Code:

---

RS.Open "[Update Check]", DB, adOpenForwardOnly

---

And I'm trying to write to the field like so:

Code:

---

RS.MoveFirst
RS.Move intCurRecord
RS.Fields("Checked").Value = CStr(Now)

---

And when I run the app it gives me the following error:
Run-time error '3251':

Object or provider is not capable of performing requested operation.

I'm using an Access DB, ADO 2.5, and MS Jet.

Can anyone help me with this?

It still doesn't work.
I'm starting to think I'll never get it working... :(
Any other suggestions?

Does it have anything to do with the way I'm opening it?

Code:

---

RS.Open "[Update Check]", DB, adOpenForwardOnly

---

Yes, a forward only cursor type can't be updated change your code to:

Code:

---

RS.Open "[Update Check]", DB, adOpenDynamic

---

Good luck!

It still doens't work, maybe I should change the lock-type?

try putting a SELECT statement in your open routine, and
change the lock type to Optimistic Locking. I can't
guarantee that will work but give it a shot:

Code:

---

RS.Open "Select * From [Update Check]", DB, adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic

---

and then perform your operation.

Or, if all you are doing to the table is modifying a record,
then you may not need to open a recordset because you can
execute SQL using an ADO Connection Object and the .Execute
method, like this:

Code:

---

DB.Execute "UPDATE [Update Check] SET CHECKED = " & CStr(Now) & _
" WHERE IdAutonumberFieldName = " & intCurRecord & ";"
