Displaying newly added records without exiting & rerun project.

Hi,

I've created a database in Access 2007 and connected it to Visual Basic 2008.

My database have tables Coachee and Coach. Details of Coachee are displayed in one form and there's a button that when clicked will show details of the Coach of that particular Coachee in a another form.

If the Coach is not in database, user will be prompt to insert a new Coach record. Problem is, when saved, the newly inserted record will not be displayed and i have to exit and rerun the program, only then the record will be displayed.

How can I display the newly inserted records without exiting? :(

How are you fetching the records? How are you displaying the records?

i have two tables in Access:

coachee(coacheeID,name,position,coachID) -i only listed a few fields to simplify it
coach(coachID,name,position)

in VB, form Coachee displays coachee details and coach details are retrieved by clicking Coach Details button on the coachee form

i'm using coachbindingsource.filter to retrieve and display coach's details.

you have to use begintransaction while inserting records in access.
can you show me the code using to insert records?

i'm a newbie in VB. i didnt have any begintransaction.

to insert records i just place textboxes dragged from the datasource (eg Coach ID), set visible=false and code another visible textbox in the form to transfer value into the invisible textbox when textchanged.

it's noobish, i know. but it works. haha. oh god this is embarassing (- -")

so now i know i have to use begintransaction to insert records into Access.

i've searched for information and it seems that i have to implement Ole.DB and SQL in order for begintransaction to work. My question is, currently i didn't implement any Ole.DB or SQL codes to connect my Access database to Visual Basic.

so, how? please help.

You don't need to use begintransaction or any such thing. There is some other problem with your code.
If you show us the code, we might be able to figure out for you.

Below is the code for View Details button (in Coachee form) which displays the details of the Coachee's coach in another form. if the Coach's ID existed in database, it will straight away display Coach's details. if not, a messagebox will ask the user whether he wants to insert a new record for Coach

vb Code:

If txtCoachID.Text = "" Then
            MsgBox("Coach's staff no is not filled", MsgBoxStyle.Information + MsgBoxStyle.OkCancel, "Data Retrieve Error")
        ElseIf CoachBindingSource.Find("coachStaffNo", txtCoachID.Text) <> -1 Then
            frmCoach.Show()
            frmCoach.txtCoachID.Text = Me.txtCoachID.Text
            If frmCoach.txtCoachPID.Text <> "" Then
                frmCoach.CoachBindingSource.Filter = "coachStaffNo ='" & CInt(frmCoach.txtCoachID.Text) & "'"
                frmCoach.PositionsBindingSource.Filter = "positionID = '" & CInt(frmCoach.txtCoachPID.Text) & "'"
            Else
                frmCoach.CoachBindingSource.Filter = "coachStaffNo ='" & CInt(frmCoach.txtCoachID.Text) & "'"
            End If
        Else
            response = MsgBox("There's no record of Coach with staff no " & txtCoachID.Text & vbNewLine & "Add new coach record?", MsgBoxStyle.YesNo + MsgBoxStyle.Information, "Add New Coach Record")
            If response = MsgBoxResult.Yes Then
                frmCoach.Show()
 
                frmCoach.CoachBindingSource.AddNew()
                frmCoach.PositionsBindingSource.AddNew()
       End If
        End If
    End Sub

And here is the code for Save button in Coach form:

vb Code:

Private Sub TrainingListBindingNavigatorSaveItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TrainingListBindingNavigatorSaveItem.Click
 Try
                Me.Validate()
                Me.CoachBindingSource.EndEdit()
                Me.CoachTableAdapter.Update(Me.BLPDataSet.coach)
                Me.PositionsBindingSource.EndEdit()
                Me.PositionsTableAdapter.Update(Me.BLPDataSet.positions)
 
                documentChanged = False
                MsgBox("Data Saved!", MsgBoxStyle.Information + MsgBoxStyle.OkOnly, "Save Successful")
            Catch ex As Exception
                MsgBox("Data Update Failed", MsgBoxStyle.Critical + MsgBoxStyle.OkOnly, "Save Error")
                documentChanged = False
            End Try
        End If
    End Sub
