Hello,
I am teaching myself MS Access forms design and Visual Basic. I've created a table to capture a list of Top 30 singles and forms to capture new entries. The final step is a form (unbound) that displays the new Top 30 positions with additional information defined in the form such as Date Entered chart, Highest Position, etc. I have a command button (Update) that will launch an event to update each table entry for each record shown on the form. This event needs to loop through the records displayed in the form and then find the corresponding record in the database table and update certain fields. The following will successfully go through each record on the form but I am stuck with the coding to find the original record in the database (via its unique Record Number ID). FindFirst or a SQL statement gives a runtime error that states 'syntax error'.
What am I missing?
NB: I've commented out some code until I can confirm the search process works.
