I have trouble updating my database. When I run my program and click on update database, I can then choose a record in my listbox, but when I click on save it button it goes to "Geen leidraad is Bygevoeg nie"

Here is my code (button update)

Private Sub btnupdate_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnupdate.Click

        'Edit Button to to edit my data in database

        StatusLabel.Text = " Kies Leidraad om te verander"

        If ListBox1.SelectedIndex <> -1 Then

            SaveOrEdit = "Edit"
        Else
            StatusLabel.Text = " Geen bestaande leidraad is geselekteer nie, kies nou een om te verander"
        End If

           End Sub

My save button code

Private Sub btnAdd_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnAdd.Click

        'button to save and edit databse

        If SaveOrEdit = "Save" Then

            Dim add As DialogResult

            add = Cls_MessageBbox.Show("Is jy Seker jy will Leidraad" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & TxtLuidraad.Text & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Byvoeg", "Byvoeg.", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question)

            If add = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Yes Then
                AddNew()
            Else
                 StatusLabel.Text = "Geen leidraad is Bygevoeg nie"
            End If

        ElseIf SaveOrEdit = "Edit" Then

            Edit()
        Else

            StatusLabel.Text = " Geen Leidraad is bygevoeg"

        End If


    End Sub

My update function

Public Function Edit() As String

        'Function to edit my data

        Try

            Dim OleDbConn As OleDbConnection = New OleDbConnection(ConnString)

With a quick look I couldn't spot any error (in Edit function).

I suggest setting a breakpoint to line MyOledbCommand.ExecuteNonQuery() , and before executing the command, check the properties of MyOledbCommand especially MyOledbCommand.CommandText.

Thanks I have put a breakpoint at my function. It looks like it don't get to my function, so the problem is by my button save, and ?I don't know what it is.

Ok, now I checked those button handlers and your original question.

First, have you declared SaveOrEdit variable as a string?

Not sure about your program's logic, but from the code can be seen that SaveOrEdit gets never a value "Save" (unless that's the initial value or you set it somewhere else not shown above).

If the first event is btnupdate_Click and you have made a selection from the listbox, then SaveOrEdit = "Edit". Next, if btnAdd_Click is called, program calls Edit() function and sets SaveOrEdit = "Cancel".

I suggest that you put a breakpoint in to each place where you either check the value of SaveOrEdit or assign it with a new value. Then step through your app (F8-key steps the code) and try to spot the 'logical' error. By 'logical' error I mean, the code obviously doesn't execute in the way you designed to do.

Also, what is Cls_MessageBbox? Do you have Dim Cls_MessageBbox As MessageBox or have you created your own messagebox? If the latter is true, then check add = Cls_MessageBbox.Show("... . That's the point where you end up to "Geen leidraad is Bygevoeg nie".
