access database update - 9/14/2005 9:49:36
i am trying to update an access database following the example in microsoft article 240090 rev 2.0. i am updating 1 column "Action". UPDATE subactionlist Set Action='%%Action%%' Where ID='%%ID%%'
when i access the update_form.asp page it displays the ID of the first record and blank for Action (it's blank in database). when i type in 5 for ID and no for action and click on update, the form goes back to 1 and blank and does not give an error but does not update the database.
i am testing this on a hosted web site that is set for front page extensions etc and using other pages in the web i can perform select queries with no problem. what am i missing? don

thanks spooky, tried what you suggested and it did not help. i also went into subactionlist and put a yes in the action column for ID number 1. when i do an update it still comes back as a yes. don

thank you for the help. i figured that i was not sending info to the update page and checked my form. found that somewhere in my troubleshooting the action box in form properties went blank. put update.asp in there and now my db updates. thanks again
