use an Update statement with the where clause...
or use Insert statement without the where clause if its a new insert to the table..

Solution 1

Why are you using INSERT? You are actually updating the table, aren't you? You should use UPDATE.

When you need to add new enregistrement use Insert, but when you need to update a value use Update.
