Need help with the following. I am trying to make a loop and make it add record1, record2… to 8. It counts fine but it is having issues (like me) updating a DB. I need help with correct syntax.

Do While not loopcount < 9

Varx1 = “rst.Record” & loopcount & “text1”
Varx2 = “Me!Record” & loopcount & “text1”

rst.AddNew
Varx1 = Varx2
rst.Update
'instead of passing the value of the form Me!record1text it
' pass's the vale &quot;Me!record1text&quot;, which does not help me?

Loopcount = loopcount + 1
Loop

It adds 8 records great but with no data?
Thanks
 
I am kinda new at this also, but from what i have learnt so far i think all you have to do is take the quotes out

Varx1 = “rst.Record” & loopcount & “text1”
Varx2 = “Me!Record” & loopcount & “text1”

should read like this

Varx1 = rst.Record & loopcount & text1
Varx2 = Me!Record & loopcount & text1

Or maybe this

Varx1 = [rst.Record] & loopcount & [text1]
Varx2 = [Me!Record] & loopcount & [text1]


i am assuming that text1 is the fieldname

hope this may help u
