Sorry this is so long, but I don't know what would be needed to help me. I also aplogize for my messy coding and lack of notes. I am doing a project for a friend, but am having an issue with modfying an MS Access database with a windows form. I have a form designed and implemented into my main form (frmViewCustomers), but am not sure how to get the record updated with the second form. I know I could do it with the initial form, but I'd rather make it simple for them, as they don't know a thing about computers. A second form would make it easy for them to understand that they are updating, instead of "accidentally" changing something. below is the code for the main form I mentioned. It is just a record viewer and works perfectly the way I want it to work (except the SearchByFactor function). Does anyone have any ideas on how to implement the second form (frmAdd) to update it? I will add a "Delete Record" button later, but for now they just need to be able to add them in and view them. Thanks in advance for any help with this solution.
EDIT: I am using VisualStudio.NET 2003. Forgot to mention this earlier.

im guessing your db is set up correctly with primary keys etc. if so just pass your primary key to your form if you are updating the record else if not. create a recordset add your user entered details to it and add this to the database as follows.
this code is used in a vb project for asp.net i know that you will not need to use ADODB reference as you are doing it locally but the rest should work fine. just google search for your connection string
VB.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
On Error GoTo Exit_RaiseError Dim cnn As New ADODB.Connection Dim rst As New ADODB.Recordset Dim sql As String Dim nid As Long cnn = New ADODB.Connection cnn.ConnectionString = "your connection string" cnn.Open() sql = "SELECT * FROM tablename WHERE tablekey = " & nid With rst rst.Open(sql, cnn, ADODB.CursorTypeEnum.adOpenDynamic, ADODB.LockTypeEnum.adLockOptimistic) .AddNew() ' add new record .Fields("fieldname").Value = "add some stuff here" ' edit the field with fieldname 'fieldname' .Update() 'update the db End With rst.Close() rst = Nothing cnn.Close() cnn = Nothing Exit_RaiseError: ' close the sub as an error has occurred Exit Sub
