Assiging the primary value back to Text Box

[ramdil]

Hi All
I have a list box in a form with three columns
1.ID
2.Name
3.Age
In the same form i have three text boxes corresponding for the above columns.
The form record source property is set to the Table.ID field is autonumber.
Now i am facing a error.When i select one row in a list box ,i want to assign the values in the list box row back to text box for updation purpose.Now Name and age i am able to assign but for ID it is showing the error message
"You cant assign a value to this object".Can any one advise me pls
The code in my listview dbl click event is as below
[CODE=vb]With Me.List15
For i = 0 To .ListCount - 1
If .Selected(i) = True Then
Me.Fare_Line_Id .Value = .Column(0, i)---error comes here.
Me.Name.Value = .Column(1, i)
Me.Age.Value = .Column(2, i)
End If
Next i
End With[/CODE]

Thanks in advance

Hi, ramdil.

Are you sure [Fare_Line_Id] control has Value property and it is not bound to any read-only table field?

Kind regards,

Autonumber's are not user updateable, nor should they be! Access's autonumber data type was not created for user interaction, only for uniquely identifying each record in a table.

If you have a real requirement for a primary key that IS user updateable, you'll need to write some code that creates the automatically incrementing key value (for which there are several threads on this site).

Other than a business requirement (such as the bosses saying you need to have each record identified with an alphanumeric code such as TBL0001, or a hidden date such as 02280800001) I can't see the need for you to change the ID field.

By the way, are you intending to create a new record with this or update an existing one?
Your code seems to be attempting the latter.

This logic doesn't make much sense then.
Why would you update the (same) current record with multiple values? Each successive one would overwrite the previous one.

Hi Thanks for the valid point

I have changed the logic and now i am updating the records based on the unique value and is working fine.

Oh good. I like it best when you find your own answers :) It indicates you're learning from the issues.

Congratulations :)
