I have an unbound form with a listbox and text box.

After selecting a item from the listbox the value pushed into a text box.

If required, the text box can be edited and command button pushed.

I want the record to be updated with the edited text in the textbox. The code below currently shows both variables are being captured, but it is giving me a Run-Time error 3075. I am guessing my syntax is wrong but I cannot figure it out.

Code:
    CurrentDb.Execute "UPDATE tblSection SET tblSection.SectionName = " & "" & Me.Text8 & "" & _
                        " WHERE tblSection.SectionID = " & Me.List6

Solved the syntax issue, the quotation marks needed to be properly addressed. & "'" & Me.Text8 & "'" &

Code:
  CurrentDb.Execute "UPDATE tblSection SET tblSection.SectionName = " & "'" & Me.Text8 & "'" & _
                        " WHERE tblSection.SectionID = " & Me.List6
 
Code:
CurrentDb.Execute "UPDATE tblSection SET tblSection.SectionName = " & "'" & Me.Text8 & "'" & " WHERE tblSection.SectionID = " & Me.List6
or normally done simpler
Code:
CurrentDb.Execute "UPDATE tblSection SET tblSection.SectionName = '" & Me.Text8 & "' WHERE tblSection.SectionID = " & Me.List6

I can’t help but comment on that statement.

Would you rather code in this manner (if the code such like this can be even constructed):
When I do something on that Form, I would like to sort-of kind-of something happen that will give me some information that may or may not be what I want.
:)

Have fun.
