I get "Object or variable not set". Do you have to open the rs with bound controls? Do I have to set the value of rscomOES? That's the name of a query command in the de. I know the connection is open, because the 1st rs will update, and if I add "MoveNext" to the event, I can update the next. But I need to get the cursor to whatever the user selects, which is why I set the srtISBN = txtISBN.text. I just don't know how to say it in SQL to get the DB to reference that rs.
