When a record is added to a datasheet(subform) if a
particular criteria is met, 5 fields are added to a
different table (tableB). I am using the recordset Addnew
method to add these fields to the new table.

If any of these records are later changed, I would like to
make the changes in TableB. I am using the recordset
Edit method.

Problem - instead of editing the existing record, a second
record is added to TableB. I have use the edit method
with the seek and find methods and can not get the desired
result.

Please help

Thanks
 
Hello Allie

Before anyone can help you with this, a few questions need
to be answered: -

Are you using DAO or ADO, or another method for data
manipulation?
What does your existing code look like?
What verion of Access, and Service Pack, are you using?

I am using Access 97, SR2

Code used

Dim Db as dao.database
dim rs as dao.recordset

set db = currentdb
set rs = db.openrecordset("tableB", dbOpenDynaset)

with rs
If me.transCode = "IS1" then
..edit
..fields("BnchId") = me.ID (ID is the PK of the TableA,
BnchID is TableA ID in TableB)
..fields("stateID") = me.state
..fields("Premium") = me.premium
..fields("UserID") = me.currentuser()
..fields("issued") = 1
..update
..close
End if
End with

set rs = nothing
set db = nothing
