Hi, I've been having issues with this for the last 4 hours and I don't know what to do. Basically I'm using an MS Access database to store information on a movie collection, however I do NOT want to use the crappy controls microsoft has for populating and navigating databases, namely MS ACCESS ones (the controls that have the pre-made toolbar and the save crap). So I've designed my own. Here is a screenshot of what it looks like (don't judge me on the movies, it's not my movie collection I'm doing this for a project for my friend):

So what I have it do so far, is when you click on a record in the DataGridView, it populates the form below and further on allows for editing and updating. ID being the primary key.

My problem: I have no clue how to make the update buttons to update the record selected / presented in the fields. I also wanted it so I could make a new record by filling out the form, and hitting the new button. I want it so it can delete the selected / presented record (namely basing it off the id field, such as 1 or 2).

My code so far:

Public Class GouldCatalog

    Dim con As New OleDb.OleDbConnection

    Dim ds As New DataSet
