I am using Access2000 and would like to insert/update
rows in an Oracle table(MA) that is defined as a link in
my Access MDB. Can I use a Recordset such as

Dim rst2 As Recordset
Set dbs = CurrentDb
Set rst2 = dbs.OpenRecordset("MA")
rst2.Index = "PK1_KSMA"
rst2.Seek "=", "8WD404"
If rst2.NoMatch Then
rst2.AddNew
rst2!MA_KEY2 = "8WD404"
rst2!MA_PRICE_DISC1 = 19.55
rst2.Update
Else
rst2.Edit
rst2!MA_PRICE_DISC1 = 19.55
rst2.Update
End If
rst2.Close

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
 
No, Index and Seek can only be used with table-type recordsets, and you
can't open a table-type recordset on a linked table. You could use FindFirst
instead, or (usually more efficient) use a SQL statement with suitable
criteria to open a recordset containing only the record or records you need.
Something like ...

Set rst2 = dbs.OpenRecordset("SELECT * FROM MA WHERE KSMA = '8WD404'")

.... if 'KSMA' was the name of the field (note you need the name of the field
here, not the name of the index as when using Seek).
