Please offer any suggestions. I have tried different cursor types and specifying client-side cursor location. All to no avail and with the same, useless error message.
Answer:
From what it looks like, you’re not opening an editable Recordset. The rs.Open command needs to be followed (after the two arguments that are already there) by two more constants. The first specifies the cursor type. For an editable recordset, you need to use either adOpenDynamic or adOpenKeyset. The second argument specifies how to lock the recordset. In this case, you’re editing only a single record, so the lock can be an optimistic lock. Use the adLockOptimistic constant. The new line should look like this:
rs.Open s, con, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic
At this point, the edit of the field should work fine.
