[RESOLVED] Using variable fields in recordset

How can I refer to a fields in a recordet using a variable
soemthing like rs!variable. Is this possible

Do you mean using a variable to get the data or do you mean when you refer to the data you already have in a recordset?

I guess both, I want to fetch the data and then update using the same method..

e.g
rs.Open "Select " & leavetype.Text & " from leavemaster where empid=" & empid.Text
rs1! & leavetype.Text=total
rs.update

Generally, you have many ways to refer to the field:
rs!FieldName
rs("FieldName")
rs.Fileds("FieldName")
rs.Fileds.Item("FieldName")
... ...

In this case the field name comes from another source, then use the second syntax:
rs(leavetype.Text)
Cannot use the first syntax.

awsome..that works..thanks
