update problem cannot see why

Is there anything wrong with my code?? Im just trimming the entries because a lot has spaces after them. after i click my button there is a runtime error saying that the update has affected too many rows.

Private Sub Command4_Click()
Dim x As String
Dim y As String

        Dim MyConn As ADODB.Connection
        Dim MyRecSet As ADODB.Recordset
        Set MyConn = New ADODB.Connection
        MyConn.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=c:\thesis\FINAL\FilipinoDict.mdb;"
        MyConn.Open
         Set MyRecSet = New ADODB.Recordset
    
    MyRecSet.CursorLocation = adUseClient
    MyRecSet.Open "SELECT * FROM Dictionary", MyConn.ConnectionString, adOpenKeyset, adLockPessimistic
        With MyRecSet
    
        Do Until .EOF
            x = .Fields(0)
            y = .Fields(1)
     
            .Fields(0).Value = RTrim(x)
            
            .Fields(1).Value = RTrim(y)
       
            
            .MoveNext
        Loop
        End With
End Sub

Thanks

Hi, you are editing without updating. By the end of your while loop you have edited every row in your recordset and updated none.
Try it this way:

Dim bm As Variant

Do Until MyRecSet.EOF
   bm = MyRecSet.Bookmark
   MyRecSet.Fields(0).Value = RTrim(MyRecSet.Fields(0).Value)
            
   MyRecSet.Fields(1).Value = RTrim(MyRecSet.Fields(1).Value )
   MyRecSet.Update
   MyRecSet.Bookmark = bm
            
   MyRecSet.MoveNext
Loop

   bm = MyRecSet.Bookmark
   MyRecSet.Bookmark = bm

I'm curious, will. What's the reason for storing and then setting the bookmark?
