If you use a DataList control linked to an ADO Data Control and if you want to add a record, you have to create a command button with this code:
Private Sub cmdAdd_Click() On Error GoTo AddErr datPrimaryRS.Recordset.AddNew txtNew.SetFocus Exit SubAddErr: MsgBox Err.DescriptionEnd SubYou can specify the new item through txtNew textbox. To allow the user to save this record, you have to add an other button, with this code in its Click event:
Private Sub cmdUpdate_Click() On Error GoTo UpdateErr datPrimaryRS.Recordset.Update datPrimaryRS.Refresh Exit SubUpdateErr: MsgBox Err.DescriptionEnd SubHowever, if you execute this example and try to add a new item, you’ll notice that even after pressing the cmdUpdate button, the new item won’t appear in the DataList. To correct this problem, you have to add a call to Requery method before Refresh. This is the correct code:
Private Sub cmdUpdate_Click() On Error GoTo UpdateErr datPrimaryRS.Recordset.Update datPrimaryRS.Recordset.Requery datPrimaryRS.Refresh Exit SubUpdateErr: MsgBox Err.DescriptionEnd Sub
