update db, no errors , no changes

[mi]

Hi again
I have already asked this question earlier but I can’t find the
question. So I ask the same question once again.
What I’m trying to do is red data from a simple txt file and create a
new table with the data found in the text file

I can run the program with no errors. The string, SQLstr2, looks just
fine, neither does the execution with, CurrentDb.Execute SQLstr2,
shows any errors.

But the database looks as it did before, no changes.

Is there anyone that cat see what I’ve done wrong or missed to do.

Thanks in advance
/Michelle

What is the error?

And is there some reason why you can't just use DoCmd.TransferText
to import into a buffer table? It has an option that handles column
headers in the first row. The way you're doing it is incredibly
inefficient.

Hi David

I changed he line:
from CurrentDb.Execute SQLstr2
to
CurrentDb.Execute SQLstr2, dbFailOnError
Same result no changes what so ever.

The other question

to mport into a buffer table? It has an option that handles column
headers in the first row. The way you're doing it is incredibly
inefficient.

The error is that i get no errors during the execution,
nor does the db change.

Thanks för replying.

What is CurrentDb.RecordsAffected immediately after
CurrentDB.Execute?

What about DoCmd.TransferText? Is there some reason you can't just
import the data directly and then process it once it's been
imported?

Hi David

I have to admit that you talking about things beyond my knowledge.
I haven't read any books about Access or Visual basic.
I've used the trail and error method.
To be more specific I don'y know what you talking about when you
talking about:
DoCmd.TransferText, CurrentDb.RecordsAffected, CurrentDb.Execute
SQLstr2, dbFailOnError. So I'mblittle bit confused.

You wonder what the error is after I run the CurrentDb.Execute
SQLstr2.
The only error I get is that the Db is unchanged.

Can you show me some pages to read and realize where to collect
accurent data.

Sorry and thanks
/Michelle

Maybe you should hire somebody who has the expertise you lack. It's
way too much to expect people in the newsgroup to walk you through
fixing the problems.

I'm gonna try to do it in a sub instead of a function.
