I apologize for extension of my previously post.
Answering your reply, let me tell you that before I submited my problem to this forum, I had allready verified that the propertie "Copy to Output Directory" of the .MDB file was set to "Do not Copy", so I don't think the problem is there.
Besides that, what do you think that could be the problem?
Let me thank you for your time sppending with this trivial to you, technical trouble.

Verify the path to the database file actually being used in your code.
The most common cause of the problem is what I already described.
Beyond that, the problem is in your code, but with no code snippet doing the update and no exception messages (you're not just eating them in a Try/Catch block are you??) there's little that anyone can tell you.
One thing does come to mind. In your UPDATE SQL verify that you are supplying the correct UDPATE, INSERT, and DELETE statements that will work on just ONE record in the WHERE clause.

The path is correct, and the SQL instruction is also correct. I've tried it directly against the database and it update the table without a problem.
Also, I'm not bot using a Try/Catch block, and I'm not receiving any exceptions from the application.
What do you mean by "code snippet"?
Again, I thank you a lot.

Sorry for the extension of my previous post. The portion of the code is:
Public Class clsSlaveBD
Dim strConString As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;DataSource=|DataDirectory|\Karate.mdbersist Security Info=True"
Public drSlave As OleDbDataReader
Public Function getConexao() As OleDbConnection
Return New OleDbConnection(strConString)
End Function
Public Sub altpass(ByVal inNome As String, ByVal inPass As String, ByVal inNovPass As String)
Dim comAltPass As New OleDbCommand("UPDATE [Utilizadores] SET [Password]=@NovPass WHERE [Nome]=@Nome AND [Password]=@Pass")
With comAltPass
.Connection = getConexao()
.Connection.Open()
.Parameters.Add(New OleDbParameter("@Nome", inNome))
.Parameters.Add(New OleDbParameter("@Pass", inPass))
.Parameters.Add(New OleDbParameter("@NovPass", inNovPass))
drSlave = .ExecuteReader
End With
End Sub
Protected Overrides Sub Finalize()
MyBase.Finalize()
End Sub
End Class
Public Class frmAltPass
Public strNovPass As String
Private Sub cmdValPass_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdValPass.Click
If txtPassAct.Text <> "" And txtNovPass.Text <> "" And txtConfPass.Text <> "" Then
If txtPassAct.Text = frmLogin.strPass And txtNovPass.Text = txtConfPass.Text Then
strNovPass = txtNovPass.Text
Dim clsSlaveBD As New BD_Slave.clsSlaveBD
clsSlaveBD.altpass(frmLogin.strUtil, frmLogin.strPass, strNovPass)
end sub
Can you help me?

I agree with you, it's not a good idea, but my problem still remains. Do you have any other suggestions?

I've solved it.
The problem was in the order i was adding the parameters to the OleDbCommand, I wasn't doing it in the same order they where in the UPDATE statement.
So I change the code from:
ublic Sub altpass(ByVal inNome As String, ByVal inPass As String, ByVal inNovPass As String)
Dim comAltPass As New OleDbCommand("UPDATE [Utilizadores] SET [Password]=@NovPass WHERE [Nome]=@Nome AND [Password]=@Pass")
With comAltPass
.Connection = getConexao()
.Connection.Open()
.Parameters.Add(New OleDbParameter("@Nome", inNome))
.Parameters.Add(New OleDbParameter("@Pass", inPass))
.Parameters.Add(New OleDbParameter("@NovPass", inNovPass))
.ExecuteNonQuery()
End With
End Sub
to:
Public Sub altpass(ByVal inNome As String, ByVal inPass As String, ByVal inNovPass As String)
Dim comAltPass As New OleDbCommand("UPDATE [Utilizadores] SET [Password]=@NovPass WHERE [Nome]=@Nome AND [Password]=@Pass")
With comAltPass
.Connection = getConexao()
.Connection.Open()
.Parameters.Add(New OleDbParameter("@NovPass", inNovPass))
.Parameters.Add(New OleDbParameter("@Nome", inNome))
.Parameters.Add(New OleDbParameter("@Pass", inPass))
.ExecuteNonQuery()
End With
End Sub
And it works just fine.
Anyway, I want to thank all of those who spent time trying to help me.

Hello!
I have a collection with objects that are instances of the same class. The user can create and delete objects, so, the number of objects when the settings are saved is not the same. Moreover, the name of each object, which is also its SettigsKey, is given by the user. The setting values of all existing objects are saved correctly in the user.config file. Knowing a SettingsKey, I can retrieve the settings values from the user.config file and create the object. I would like to create objects for all “SettingsKeys” saved in the user.config file when the application starts.
So, How can I retrieve all the SettingsKey saved in the user.config file?
And, when the user deletes one object, how can I delete the settings values of the deleted object from the user.config file?
Thanks any help.

You're really going to have a tough time doing this. Every user get's their own copy of the user.config file. The users settings are not all sotred in a single copy of the file. The user.config settings that you refer to are stored in the profile of each user. Normally, under the path:
C:\Documents and Settings\userId\Application Data\companyName\appName_evidenceType_evidenceHash\version\user.config
The users, unless an Administrator, cannot see inside the profile folder of another user, and therefore, cannot see the settings another user has defined.

Yes, I now all this. I am using My.Settings object to store and retrieve application settings and end-user preferences. The settings are stored in two files, app.config file and user.config file (for each user), which is stored in: “C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data”. When we have multiple instances of the same class they share the same settings class. We can solve this problem by using the SettingsKey property from the System.Configuration.ApplicationSettingsBase Class to define multiple sets of settings. You can see this here, "http://www.code-magazine.com/articleprint.aspx?quickid=0607031&printmode=true[^]". So, in this case, I would like to retrieve all the SettingsKey saved in the user.config file and, when the user deletes one object, I would like to delete the settings values of the deleted object from the user.config file.
Thanks one more time.

I have tried the code but I got a runtime error as belo
"Error 2 Type 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReader' has no constructors. C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\CinemaTicketing\CinemaTicketing\MainPage.vb 39 13 CinemaTicketing"
What does it mean by no instructor??

Read the error message again. It's talking about a constructor, not an instructor.
You can't create an SqlDataReader object by using the new keyword, as there is no public constructor that can be use for that. A data reader is created using the command object by calling the ExecuteReader method.

There are converters on the web that will do this for you. None of them are perfect, but they can get pretty close.
Really, what you posted is very easy to convert. All you have to do is look at any of the code samples on MSDN and they'll show you a piece of VB.NET and the equivilent C# code. Just look at the patterns of each line and you'll see that the majority of code converts quite easily.

On which column you have assigned the Primary key. What is exactly the structure of your Table.

You would have to perform an SQL SELECT query on the table looking for a record with all those fields set already. If you get anything other than 0 records back, either something went wrong in the search, or there is already a record with those details in it.

thx 4 the reply to both of you..
Also,..Dave..can you elaborate on the SQL SELECT query please..?
ie could you give an example?
i think that this might help..
i have a table emp_pc (with pc_no as PK) in which all the PC's assigned to the employees are maintained..
suppose that i assigned PC001 to EMP1..how do i avoid entering another record in which PC001 is assigned to EMP1?

There isn't enough information to write the statement. Do you have two tables holding data?? Is there a relationship between them?? What do the tables' schemas look like?? What columns are these two pieces of information in (PC001 and EMP1)??
