2. Requery Method Updates the data in a Recordset object by re-executing the query on which the object is based. Syntax recordset.Requery Options Use the Requery method to refresh the entire contents of a Recordset object from the data source by reissuing the original command and retrieving the data a second time. Calling this method is equivalent to calling the Close and Open methods in succession. If you are editing the current record or adding a new record, an error occurs. *Note - Use after inserting, deleting, and updating Update Method Saves any changes you make to the current row of a Recordset object RecordSet

3. The Command Object Use a Command object to execute queries. Queries that return records Queries that return no records (Insert, delete etc) Important Propeties and Methods CommandText -Indicates the text of a command to be issued against a provider. CommandType -Indicates the type of a Command object. adCmdUnspecified adCmdText –use for SQL adCmdTable adCmdStoredProc CommandTimeout - Indicates how long to wait while executing a command before terminating the attempt and generating an error. ActiveConnection -Indicates to which Connection object the specified Command currently belongs Execute

4. The Command Object Execute -Executes the query, SQL statement, or stored procedure specified in the CommandText property. For a Recordset-returning Command: Set recordset = command.Execute( RecordsAffected, Parameters, Options ) For a non–recordset-returning Command: command.Execute RecordsAffected, Parameters, Options Usually command.Execute

The Command Object Dim Cnxn As ADODB.Connection Dim cmdChange As ADODB.Command Dim strSQLChange As String Dim strCnxn As String strSQLChange = "UPDATE Titles SET Type = 'self_help' WHERE Type = 'psychology'“ strCnxn = "Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=MyServer;Initial Catalog=Pubs;User Id=sa;Password=; " Set Cnxn = New ADODB.Connection Cnxn.Open strCnxn Set cmdChange = New ADODB.Command Set cmdChange.ActiveConnection = Cnxn cmdChange.CommandText = strSQLChange cmd.Execute

10. Deleting a Record Deleting a record Dim cmdEmp As ADODB.Command Set cmdEmp = New ADODB.Command cmdEmp.ActiveConnection = Cnxn cmdEmp.CommandType = adCmdText cmdEmp.CommandText = "DELETE FROM Employees WHERE EmployeeID = '" & strID & "'" cmdEmp.Execute rstEmployees.Requery
