[resolved]access ado database

Ok this is my fisrt attempt at working with data bases
I have made a form that creates an access database, then creates a row.

Code:

---

Private Sub Command1_Click()

  Text2.Text = GetPublicIP()
      Dim conCatalog As ADOX.Catalog
    On Error Resume Next
    Set conCatalog = New ADOX.Catalog
    conCatalog.Create "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
                      "Data Source='C:\vb6files\FtpIpFiles\ip.mdb'"
   
    MsgBox "A new Microsoft JET database named IP.mdb has been created"
   
    Set conCatalog = Nothing
   
    Dim conIp As ADODB.Connection
    Dim strSQL As String
   
    Set conIp = New ADODB.Connection
    conIp.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
                      "Data Source='C:\vb6files\FtpIpFiles\ip.mdb'"
   
    strSQL = "CREATE TABLE CurrentIp (" & _
            "Ip VarChar(32));"
   
    conIp.Execute strSQL
   
    MsgBox "A table named IpAddy has been added to the IP.mdb database"

---

Now I need to insert the value of text2,txt into the data base, this is my code so far,

Code:

---

Private Sub cmdInsertIp_Click()
    Dim conIp As New ADODB.Recordset
    Dim conCatalog As New ADODB.Connection

conCatalog.Open "Provider='Microsoft.JET.OLEDB.4.0';" & _
                      "Data Source='C:\vb6files\FtpIpFiles\ip.mdb'"
 

If conIp.Supports(adAddNew) Then

        With conIp
            .AddNew
            .Fields("ip") = Me.Text2.Text
            .Update
        End With
       
        MsgBox "text2.txt has been added"
    End If
   
   
    Me.Text2.SetFocus

 
   


   
    Set conIp = Nothing
    conCatalog.Close
    Set conCatalog = Nothing
End Sub

---

it does not work but does not return error either?
please help, thanks

In the second piece of code the "conIp" recordset is not connected to the database, thus updating it will not update the database. You can eliminate the need for the recordset completely by using a SQL INSERT statement. Example:

VB Code:

Private Sub cmdInsertIp_Click()
Dim conDB As New ADODB.Connection
 
conDB.Open "Provider='Microsoft.JET.OLEDB.4.0';" & _
           "Data Source='C:\vb6files\FtpIpFiles\ip.mdb'"
 
conDB.Execute "INSERT INTO CurrentIp VALUES ('" & Text2.Text & "')"
 
conDB.Close
Set conDB = Nothing
End Sub

Hope this helps.
