adding, saving, editing database without adding adodc or datacontrol

[jaz215]

hi! how do i add a record in a database without using the datacontrol and adodc. i want to rework my code to using purely codes and not being dependent on the design on vb. so far i have.

 Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
      Set con = New ADODB.Connection
      con.ConnectionString = "provider=microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0;data source=C:\Program Files\Logsheet\Logsheet.mdb;"
      con.Open
      rs.Open "SELECT * from Employee;", con, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic
       rs.MoveFirst
       Text1.Text = rs.Fields(0)
       Text2.Text = rs.Fields(1)
       Text3.Text = rs.Fields(2)
       Text4.Text = rs.Fields(3)
       Text5.Text = rs.Fields(4)
con.close
rs.close

and when should i close the connections? i also have cmdbuttons add, edit, save, delete any guide on what to write there?

i have trouble adding a record so i'll just also post it here.

Private Sub cmdAdd_Click()
Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
      Set con = New ADODB.Connection
      con.ConnectionString = "provider=microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0;data source=C:\Program Files\Logsheet\Logsheet.mdb;"
      con.Open
      rs.Open "SELECT * from Employee;", con, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic
       
       rs.MoveLast
       rs.AddNew
      
       
 
End Sub

Private Sub cmdSave_Click()
rs.Update
rs.Close
con.Close
End Sub

if you want to add a record no need to open the record set.

try this

connction.execu te "insert into ............... ."

For any DML execute the sql statment between the block of begintrans and committrans.

[code=vb]
conn.begintrans
conn.execute "........yo ur DML statment....... ...."
conn.committran s[/code]

Is it just me, or is there a bit of a trend emerging in ilasabba's responses?

Twelve replies so far, and they all say more or less the same thing (apart from typos).
