Adding record to Access

I'm fairly new to VB and I'm having big problems adding a record to my Access DB. I have using the following code: -

'Adds new record to DB
AdodcHire.Recordset.AddNew
AdodcHire.Recordset.Fields("Customer_Number") = txtCustNumber.Text
AdodcHire.Recordset.Fields("Fleet_Number") = txtCarFleetNumber.Text
AdodcHire.Recordset.Fields("Date_Out") = txtDateOut.Text
AdodcHire.Recordset.Fields("Date_Return") = dtpDateDue
AdodcHire.Recordset.Fields("Mileage_Out") = txtMileageOut.Text
AdodcHire.Recordset.Update

When I run the program I get the following error message "Empty rows cannot be inserted. Rows must have at least one column value set".

I can't understand it, as the values I am passing i.e. txtCustNumber.Text, does exsist. When I debug the error it is stating txtCustNumber is NULL. How can this be?

Please help

Hi

maybe the pointer to your database is incorrect. Try This

AdocHire.Databasename = "your database name.mdb"
AdocHire.RecordSource = "Your Table Name"
AdocHire.Recordset.MoveLast
AdodcHire.Recordset.AddNew
AdodcHire.Recordset.Fields("Customer_Number") = txtCustNumber.Text
AdodcHire.Recordset.Fields("Fleet_Number") = txtCarFleetNumber.Text
AdodcHire.Recordset.Fields("Date_Out") = txtDateOut.Text
AdodcHire.Recordset.Fields("Date_Return") = dtpDateDue
AdodcHire.Recordset.Fields("Mileage_Out") = txtMileageOut.Text
AdodcHire.UpdateRecord

katade,

VB message "Empty rows cannot be inserted. Rows must have at least one column value set" is telling you that your textbox(es) do not contain data.

Your problem is the somewhere in your code, you are removing the data before you can save it. You are going to have to find where you are removing the data from your textbox(es) by stepping through your code.

Use:

... = IIf(Len(Text1.Text), Text1.Text, Null)

Try:

' Data1 is a data control object

Data1.DatabaseName = App.Path + "...." ' your .mdb file
Data1.RecordSource = "...." ' table-name
Data1.Refresh

With Data1.Recordset
.AddNew
![Attribute1] = <value>
....
.... ' other attributes
.Update
End With

I think the problem is that there is some attribute which is required but whose values you are not providing in your code. Either edit your Access table in design-view and make that attribute as Not Required, or else provide a value for it through your code.
