Update selected data in a MS Access table

I am using
- MSAccess
- Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.760 (Intel X86)
- FrontPage 2003

I have created a form to update data in a MSAccess table. I only want to allow the user to update 3 of the 7 fields. The three fields that the user is allowed to update are LibInternet, InterLink and InterWebmaster. The data in the other 4 fields should NOT be changed. Currently the update form is allowing the update of the 3 fields, but it is DELETING the content in the other 4 fields.

ChartID = Request.querystring("ChartID")

	'Get values for form below

	dim city, state
	sql = "SELECT * FROM tblGeneral WHERE ChartID=" & ChartID & ";"
	set objrec = objConn.Execute(sql)

		City = objrec("City")
		State = objrec("State")

	set objRec = nothing


'Now get the data for the form below
sql = "SELECT * FROM tblWeb WHERE ChartID = " & ChartID
Set objrec = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
objrec.Open sql, objConn


'create variables and give them values from recordset fields
'Then use variables in form code below, rather than recordset fields

If not objrec.eof then
	LibInternet = objrec("LibInternet")
	InterLink = objrec("InterLink")
	InterWebmaster = objrec("InterWebmaster")
	WebDate = objrec("WebDate")

End If

I think it's problem of your code to update the data back into database.

Since if you going to update only 3 fields out of 7
when write query to update only those 3, don't try to get and set data for another 4 fields

if you still can't figure it out, post the code of End.asp for analysis.

Attached is the code in end.asp

dim sql, objRec, strCol, ChartID, item
ChartID = Request.form("ChartID")

'If there was a record for this ChartID in tblWeb already, delete it.
sql = "DELETE * FROM tblWeb WHERE ChartID = " & ChartID
Set objrec = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
objrec.Open sql, objConn

'Start building your sql statement.  We're going to insert a record into tblWeb for each ChartID.

sql = "INSERT INTO tblWeb ("
	For each strCol in Request.Form
	'Loop through the fields in the form
		For each item in Request.Form(strCol)
			If Len(Request(strCol)) > 0 then
				strColumns = strColumns & strCol & ","
				'Find out which columns need to be updated
				'Following line does not allow apostrophe
				'strValues = strValues & "'" & item & "',"
    			'The Replace code in the next line corrects apostrophe entries
    			strValues = strValues & "'" & Replace(item,"'","''") & "',"
				'Find out what value is in those form fields
			End If
		Next
	Next

strColumns = left(strColumns, len(strColumns)-1)
strValues = left(strValues, len(strValues)-2)
'Get rid of the commas at the end of the column and value strings

sql = sql & strColumns & ") VALUES (" & strValues & "')"
'Finish building your sql statement then execute the insert
objConn.Execute(sql)

You appear to be deleting the entire record and then adding a new one, so where would you be expecting the other 4 fields to be getting their values from?
