Hello,

I am new to VB.NET. I have an MS Access database and my Update and Delete queries do not work as I expect them to.

These are the queries I have now.

Update

SQL

Update Emp Set name="Project" Where no = 2;

Delete

SQL

Delete From Emp Where no=1;

Please help me. I know this is very basic stuff in VB.NET/Access but I don't know what to do next.

In what way do they not work? What's the error that you get?

sima2011 23-Feb-11 23:55pm

You are about to update 0 rows
Once you click yes,you cant use the Undo command to reverse the changes,
Are you sure you want to update these records?

That's not an error. Your criteria just does not match any existing rows.

hello,

Try [no] instead of no. no is ODBC reserved keywords

Update Emp Set name='Project' Where [no] = 2;

oops, didn't see the question is for MS Access, anyway, using [no] should solve your puzzle.

Ah ok. In sql it will throw an error.Bryian's answer should work as no is a reserved keyword.
