i can do all the basic ops to an ms access table that has records in it
through a vc7.0 gui interface (add, delete, save etc).
adding a record to such a table basicaly is

Code:
recordsetptr->MoveLast();
recordsetptr->AddNew(AddRecord);
loop thru rec fields
   change values
   recordsetptr-Update(.,.);
running throug the above step in different steps all failed when
the table was empty to start with. would appreciate insight
on how to get that first record in.

thanks
