VB

I'm trying to write a program that opens up an access database and modifies the values in that db. I've successfully created the database and and filled a table with the fields that I need but I haven't been able to fill the db with the data(records) that I need. What I need to know is should I be using DAO for this? or can I do it using opencurrentdatabase etc??? Any help or direction would be appreciated. wilton@viser.net

You can do it with both ways. Select one and I'll guide you how to do it...

Thank you. But I figured it out. I made a really simple mistake. I forgot to set Dao as one of my libraries.

I would use ADO instead of DAO. Something like this:


Dim rst as ADODB.Recordset
Dim con as ADODB.Connection
set con = new ADODB.Connection
con.ConnectionString = "DRIVER=(Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)); DBQ=databasename.mdb;DefaultDir=" & App.path & ";UID=admin..."
con.Open
rst.Open "select * from table", con





There really are any number of ways to use it; i.e. thru the Command obj, the Connection obj or even the Recordset obj. I believe the piece of code above should work.

good luck.
