hmm still no go ?

VB Code:

rs("Employed") = txtEmployed.Text
rs.Update
rs.Requery

Crazyness I tell you lol
Well Still no go, with that
no errors though
Maybe I can find something that will force a update of the whole table?
again thanks for all the help

What is rs? A data control? How do you tell that the new records are not reflected?

rs= recordset
The List box and all my text boxes wont update with the new name entered into the records, It does, strangly enough update into the db when saved but to veiw the new add to the listboxes/textboxes then I have to close whole program and re begin to see the updated record? diesnt this seem odd? I never had this issue arise before?

here are the outside procedures and code for my project the only two things not working so far is the update & also I can't search
sorry for the long code I need to figure out how to put on as a zip

It seems you are not re-populating after adding/editing, try the ff...

VB Code:

Private Sub cmdsave_Click()
    If dbadd = True Then
        Call Add
    ElseIf dbedit = True Then
        Call edit
        rs.Update
    End If
    rs.Requery
    List
End Sub

Talk about tripping over a needle in a haystack, and running into a pot o gold at the same time lol
I needed to "list" to display it I think i accidently deleted a few things wile toyin around with different procedures. I can search now too, by Employee ID but the strange thing is , is that I can only do a successful search by id wile the text in enabled = false?
is this wierd to you ?



a little clearer would be to say when press add or cancel this will enable = false my texboxes and only then can i perform a successful search? If I do wile the text is normal then ill get a error I placed "record not found"??
thanks again for all the help!!

Something like this?

VB Code:

Private Sub cmdSearch_Click()
    If txtFirstName.Enabled = False Then
        If txtSearch.Text = vbNullString Then
            sSQL = "SELECT * from EMPDATA "
            Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(sSQL)
        Else
            Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("SELECT * FROM EMPDATA WHERE ID LIKE '" & txtSearch.Text & "*'")
        End If
    Else
        
    End If
End Sub
