Update Table from Form

I received great help from Remou in the JET SQL/Queries forum and have now correctly calculated a value "fare" for each ride accepted. Normally, I wouldn't want to store calculated values in a database, but the auditors have decided that we need to save the results for audit purposes.

The subform is poplulated by a query. So I have attempted to update the fields from my subform:

Code:
Private Sub Release_AfterUpdate()
UPDATE Ride SET Ride.Fare = Fare WHERE Ride.RideNo = [Forms]![frmSubscriptionRideDetail]![RideNo];
End Sub

However, I keep getting a syntax error. The sub is designed to run after the reservationist completes the order.

Thanks for helping.

You need to actually run a VBA command there. This should work, for example:

Code:
Private Sub Release_AfterUpdate()
DoCmd.RunSql("UPDATE Ride SET Ride.Fare = Fare WHERE Ride.RideNo = [Forms]![frmSubscriptionRideDetail]![RideNo];")
End Sub



-V
 
Are you sure of this ?
SET Ride.Fare = Fare

Hope This Helps, PH.

Thanks VRoscoli, that got me through the worst part--forgot I needed to execute with VBA. But PHV may be on to something. [Fare] is the name I give to the calculation in the query that populates the subform. [Ride.Fare] is the name in the table.

When I execute the VBA code, I get a prompt
frmSubscriptionRideDetail]![RideNo]

Obviously, the key field is not in memory. I can't understand why unless it has something to do with the query.

Thanks both for helping.
