addnew or edit method of the recordset must be called before the update method.

try as the following code

rs.addnew
rs.Fields("Supplier_id") = Val(Text1.Text)
rs.Fields("Supplier_name") = Text2.Text
rs.Fields("contact_person") = Text3.Text
rs.Fields("contact_no") = Text4.Text
rs.Fields("office_address") = Text6.Text
rs.Fields("emails") = Text7.Text
rs.Fields("website") = Text8.Text
rs.Fields("Fax_no") = Text5.Text
rs.Fields("item_type") = Combo1.Text
rs.Update

do as what Debasisdas told you, after you open the recordset, then you use rs.addnew..take out the If statement...

before you open the recordset put some error trapping whether the user input some data ..or else you'll add an empty data to your database...
