Stop me flicking (1 Viewer)

[aingram]

I have an update query that looks for a name eg "first"
then it is suppost to update a field with 1

I have a command button that runs the query

This then says "you are about to update 1 row(s) so i press yes, but the field doesn't update

But if i flick through the database and then come back to the record it has updated

How can i do this so i dont have to flick

Thanks
Andrew

It is updated, you just can't see the update until you refresh the screen which you are doing in a round about way by "flicking" through the data.
requery your form or whatever after the update query runs.

If you find the "You are about to update..." message annoying shut off the system warnings while you execute the code.

Sub Runquery cmdbutton_onClick()
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
Docmd.Runquery "YourQueryName"
myform.Requery
'If the Requery does not work try this:
Docmd.RunCommand accmdRefresh

End Sub
