Have you opened the database with connection string?
also you havent declared rst3.

Declare them(Use Option Explicit).

I have tried declaring rst3 but still

Set rst3 =datReservationRecs.OpenRecordset("select*from Tickets where SS# = '"&[Forms]![Booking_Counter]![SS]&'";")

Code:

---

Option Explicit
Dim rst3 As Recordset


Private Sub cmdSave_Click()
Dim rst3 As Recordset
Set rst3 = datReservationRecs.OpenRecordset("select * from Tickets where SS# ='" & [Forms]![Booking_Counter]![SS] & '";")
rst3.Save
rst3![PassengerName] = [Forms]![frmBooking_Counter]![txtPassengerName]
rst3![TicketNumber] = [Forms]![frmBooking_Counter]![txtTicketNumbers]
rst3![Arrival] = [Forms]![frmBooking_Counter]![txtArrival]
rst3![DepartingAirport] = [Forms]![frmBooking_Counter]![txtDepartingAirport]
rst3![Fare] = [Forms]![frmBoooking_Counter]![txtFare]
rst3![Class] = [Forms]![frmBooking_Counter]![txtClass]
rst3.Update
End Sub

In the code above you are using a DAO recordset. DAO requires the use of the edit method.

On the line where you have rst3.save you need to have rst3.edit instead if you are changing the record or rst3.addnew if you are appending a new record.

In the case of edit you do know that the code will simply change the first record returned by your select, if any right?
