On which line did the error occur?

Private Sub cmdDone_Click()

Below the cmd_Done, it will highlight the actual line where the object is not defined. I need to see which object it is. It can only be Rs, ServerConnect, conn.

this

Ahhh, that is because you have two subs with the same name "ServerConnect", both using conn as the connection, hence the ambigitous name detected error. Delete or rename one of the subs.:)

private Call server connect

variable not defined

No, do not make it private. Change the name of the sub say ServerConnect1 and the other one ServerConnect2. Keep it public and in your module.

When calling the connection, use "Call ServerConnect1" or if you are using 2 "Call ServerConnect2"

still the same variable not defined

look at my module is this correct

Public Sub ServerConnect1()

Dim conn As ADODB.Connection
Dim strIPAddress As String

Set conn = New ADODB.Connection
strIPAddress = "localhost"

conn.ConnectionString = "DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};" _
            & "SERVER=" & strIPAddress & ";" _
            & "DATABASE=database1;" _
            & "UID=root;" _
            & "PWD=;" _
            & "OPTION=" & 1 + 2 + 8 + 32 + 2048 + 16384

conn.CursorLocation = adUseClient
conn.Open
End Sub

Public Sub ServerConnect2()

Dim conn As ADODB.Connection
Dim strIPAddress As String

Set conn = New ADODB.Connection
strIPAddress = "localhost"

conn.ConnectionString = "DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};" _
            & "SERVER=" & strIPAddress & ";" _
            & "DATABASE=database1;" _
            & "UID=root;" _
            & "PWD=;" _
            & "OPTION=" & 1 + 2 + 8 + 32 + 2048 + 16384

conn.CursorLocation = adUseClient
conn.Open
End Sub

Your code is perfect. Did you change it in the call statement as well -

'You had...
Call ServerConnect
'Should be....
Call ServerConnect1

yes but still variable not defined

Dim Rs As New ADODB.Recordset
Set Rs = New ADODB.Recordset

Call ServerConnect1

Rs.Open "SELECT * FROM list1", conn, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic
Rs.AddNew


            Rs!CustomerName = txtName.Text
            Rs!ContactNumber = txtContact.Text
            Rs!Date = dt.Value
            Rs!TimeStart = cmbStart.Text
            Rs!TimeEnd = cmbEnd.Text
            Rs!Event = cmbEvent.Text
            Rs!Guest = txtGuest.Text
            Rs!Comment = txtComment.Text

Rs.Update
Rs.Close
conn.Close

Try the following so we can see where the error occur. It might be that conn is not connecting to your MySql database. Does your MySql require a password?

Dim Rs As New ADODB.Recordset
Set Rs = New ADODB.Recordset
 
'Call ServerConnect1

Dim conn As ADODB.Connection
Dim strIPAddress As String
 
Set conn = New ADODB.Connection
strIPAddress = "localhost"
 
conn.ConnectionString = "DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};" _
            & "SERVER=" & strIPAddress & ";" _
            & "DATABASE=database1;" _
            & "UID=root;" _
            & "PWD=;" _
            & "OPTION=" & 1 + 2 + 8 + 32 + 2048 + 16384
 
conn.CursorLocation = adUseClient
conn.Open
 
Rs.Open "SELECT * FROM list1", conn, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic
Rs.AddNew
 
 
            Rs!CustomerName = txtName.Text
            Rs!ContactNumber = txtContact.Text
            Rs!Date = dt.Value
            Rs!TimeStart = cmbStart.Text
            Rs!TimeEnd = cmbEnd.Text
            Rs!Event = cmbEvent.Text
            Rs!Guest = txtGuest.Text
            Rs!Comment = txtComment.Text
 
Rs.Update
Rs.Close
conn.Close

it's working :)

can i put this in my module?
then i will use Call ServerConnect

Dim conn As ADODB.Connection
Dim strIPAddress As String
 
Set conn = New ADODB.Connection
strIPAddress = "localhost"
 
conn.ConnectionString = "DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};" _
            & "SERVER=" & strIPAddress & ";" _
            & "DATABASE=database1;" _
            & "UID=root;" _
            & "PWD=;" _
            & "OPTION=" & 1 + 2 + 8 + 32 + 2048 + 16384
 
conn.CursorLocation = adUseClient
conn.Open

There must be another reason then why it is not opening from the module, Very strange indeed. I think we need to move the "Call ServerConnect" to the first line and all other code after that. Try that and see what happens, unless you want to keep it as it is now, working!;)

If you are happy with the solution, don't forget to mark this as solved, thanks.:)

Sorry I missed the second post, yes, that should be fine. Just move the call statement up to the first line of code as per my previous reply.
