Dased and Confused!!!

Q. I am using VB6 and have setup a data environment to a MSAccess database through a system DSN. I can browse through records in the tables using the movenext and moveprevious methods. However, I am having trouble adding new records. I have tried the addnew and the update commands, but they don’t seem to be the correct ones.

I get this error with the addnew command....

Run-time error '3251':

Object or provider is not capable of performing
requested operation.


Answers on a post card please…. First correct entry out of the hat wins a pint!!!

looks like your using ado..
and looks like your using default lock and cursor types

instead of
RS.open SQLstring, conn
try RS.Open SQLString, conn, 3, 3 'numbers are constants for different locking
if that doesnt help
post your code

I am a complete beginner and as such am more or less making things up as I go along.

I used the following to move forward and backwards through records

code:
Private Sub Command1_Click()
DataEnvironment1.rspersonal.MovePrevious
DataEnvironment1.rsbenefits.MovePrevious
DataEnvironment1.rsaddress.MovePrevious
DataEnvironment1.rsbank.MovePrevious
End Sub

I assumed that using this would allow me to add new records

code:
Private Sub Command1_Click()
DataEnvironment1.rspersonal.addnew
DataEnvironment1.rsbenefits.addnew
DataEnvironment1.rsaddress.addnew
DataEnvironment1.rsbank.addnew
End Sub

Obviously I have to do much more. If you know of where I could find an example of code from start to finish or if you could talk me through it I would be very grateful.

Cheers.

In the properties of your datenvironment there should be somewhere you can change the CursorType to OpenKeyset.

This enables you to write to the database

Hope this is of use
