Hi lanitooot. Locate the code:

MessageBox.Show("Record is Successfully save")

Move it from line 179 to line 187

THink it should go after the attempt to ExecuteNonQuery not before.

You may find you no longer receive the message telling you have successfully saved your record.
Do you receive an error message?
If you do, it may be down to the text of your query. Is call_no a text field or a numeric field? If it is numeric, you should remove the single quotes.

thank you for the big help!!.


its a numeric field.. remove single quotes in what line??..all of it?.. because call_no and isbn are numeric fields. what should i do know?.. please help.. i need to aappear it in the listview and it won't.. :(

No, just remove the quotes from the numeric fields - just like you've already done it with the book_id. TRy this:

sqlQry = "UPDATE book SET "
        sqlQry = sqlQry + " book_title = '" & titletxt.Text & "',"
        sqlQry = sqlQry + " book_author = '" & authortxt.Text & "',"
        sqlQry = sqlQry + " book_publisher = '" & Pubtxt.Text & "',"
        sqlQry = sqlQry + " isbn = " & isbntxt.Text & ","
        sqlQry = sqlQry + " call_no = " & authortxt.Text
        sqlQry = sqlQry + " WHERE "
        sqlQry = sqlQry + " book_id = " & idtxt.Text

And when you need a date/time field you would use the hash symbol:

sqlQry = sqlQry + " first_published = #" & pubdate.Text & "#"

AS a rule:
Text use single quotes - 'Harry Potter and the GOblet of Fire'
Date/Time use hash - #22 aug 2010 13:32#
Otherwise use nothing
