Hi,

I seem to be getting the error "Syntax error in UPDATE statement." when attempting to update my database through visual studio 2008, using forms.

Here is the code for the connection:

Private Sub btnLoadDB_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnLoadDB.Click

        Provider = "PROVIDER=MICROSOFT.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;"
        Source = "Data Source = F:\My Documents\Computing\COMP4\COMP4 CW\WND.accdb"

        connection.ConnectionString = Provider & Source

        connection.Open()

        sqlCode = "SELECT * FROM Newspapers"
        dAdapter = New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter(sqlCode, connection)
        dAdapter.Fill(dSet, "Newspapers")

        MsgBox("Database Loaded.", MsgBoxStyle.Information)
        connection.Close()

        maxRows = dSet.Tables("Newspapers").Rows.Count
        incr = -1

    End Sub

The code for the update button on my form:

Private Sub btnUpdate_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnUpdate.Click

        Dim cBuilder As New OleDb.OleDbCommandBuilder(dAdapter)

        dSet.Tables("Newspapers").Rows(incr).Item(0) = txtPMID.Text
        dSet.Tables("Newspapers").Rows(incr).Item(1) = txtPMName.Text
        dSet.Tables("Newspapers").Rows(incr).Item(2) = txtPMPrice.Text

        dAdapter.Update(dSet, "Newspapers")

        MsgBox("The record was successfully updated", MsgBoxStyle.Information)
    End Sub

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Collin

What is "cBuilder" doing for you?

What is "cBuilder" doing for you?

The cBuilder is the command builder; it builds the sql strings.

When is it being used?

When is it being used?

dAdapter.Update(dSet, "Newspapers")

In the above line. I'm sorry if I'm not being very clear, I'm a student, and I don't have the best teachers :(

Do you need to call

cBuilder.GetUpdateCommand()

right before calling the Update on the Adapter?

I don't think I need to, no..
