SQL Update question
Good morning,
I have 3 fields [printtab], [rotation], & [adn]. Rotation and adn are True/False fields. The printtab is a number field. In stead of having 3 SQL statements, I'd like to update the fields like this: strSQL = "UPDATE tblconfig SET [rotation] = True, [printtab] = 1, [adn] = True" '************* Updates the Config File ************* CurrentDb.Execute strSQL, dbFailOnError When I tried it it kept on giving me errors. Error:3061. Too few parameters. Expected 1. Can it be done like above or do I need to use 3 SQL statements? Thank you for your input. -- Message posted via AccessMonster.com http://www.accessmonster.com/Uwe/For...eries/201006/1 |

No, it can be done in one query. The error message indicates that one of the
field names is incorrectly spelled or that True is being misunderstood for some reason. Try strSQL = "UPDATE tblconfig SET [rotation] = -1, [printtab] = 1, [adn] = -1" If that still gives you the same error, double check the spelling of the field names.

Thanks for the quick come back. Your suggestion worked. I really appreciate
the help There was a field error spelling problem. I should have used [printab] instead of [printtab] Thanks again for the direction. John Spencer wrote: No, it can be done in one query.
