        Dim con As New OleDbConnection(cons)
        con.Open()
        Dim cmd As New OleDbCommand
        ins = "UPDATE OrderInfo SET InitialBatchID ='" & 5000 & "' WHERE 'GLID Number' = '" & TextBox9.Text & "'"

Could be anything: we can't tell from that (and we can't test your code, because we don't have access to your database.)

So start with the debugger: put a breakpoint on the first line of that code, and run your app in the debugger. When it reaches the breakpoint, execution will stop, and let you step through your code and see exactly what is happening.

But please, don't do it like that. Do not concatenate strings to build a SQL command. It leaves you wide open to accidental or deliberate SQL Injection attack which can destroy your entire database. Use Parametrized queries instead.

Please, read my comment to the question.

I see at least 2 reasons of above behaviour:
1) Connection string is incomplete!
Should be:

VB

cons = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\myFolder\myAccessFile.accdb; Persist Security Info=False;"

2) Update statement could be wrong!
a) If InitialBatchID and GLID number are numeric fields, you should remove ' arounding values.
b) If field name contains space between words, you should add [] bracket around it: [GLID number] instead of 'GLID number'

Finally:
If executable is in the same folder, you need to move it into another folder.
OriginalGriff is right. You should use parametrized queries.
