updateRecord Method

Updates the Recordset object with changes to the current record.

Syntax

object.updateRecord()

Parameters

object

A Recordset script object.

Remarks

When the updateRecord method is used, an onbeforeupdate event is called before the record is updated, and an onafterupdate event is called after the record is updated.

You can move the cursor to designate the current record with the move, moveNext, movePrevious, moveFirst, and moveLast methods.

In some cases, the update may not occur because of one of more the following conditions, each of which produces a trappable error:

• The operation violates referential integrity constraints.
  
  
• The database or Recordset object isn't updateable.
  
  
• The user doesn't have permission to perform the operation.

To create a new record in the Recordset, use the addRecord method. The Microsoft^® Visual InterDev™ Scripting Object Model does not support batch updates. Updates must be made on a record-by-record basis.
