I have the following code:

Code:
            sSql = "UPDATE tblShippers SET ShipperKey = ?, " & _
                                        "Description = ?, " & _
                                        "MaxWeight = ?, " & _
                                        "TStamp = '" & Now() & "' " & _
                                        " WHERE ShipperUID = ?"
            da.UpdateCommand = New OleDbCommand(sSql, Conn)
            da.UpdateCommand.Parameters.Add("@ShipperKey", OleDbType.Char, 10, "ShipperKey")
            da.UpdateCommand.Parameters.Add("@Description", OleDbType.Char, 100, "Description")
            da.UpdateCommand.Parameters.Add("@MaxWeight", OleDbType.Double, "MaxWeight")
            da.UpdateCommand.Parameters.Add("@oldShipperUID", OleDbType.Integer, "ShipperUID").SourceVersion = DataRowVersion.Original

When I run the ds.Update command, I'm not getting an error but its not updating the record. I'd like to see what values are being used for the parameters when its bombing out. Any way to do this?
 
Your SQL is not referencing the parameters:

sSql = "UPDATE tblShippers SET ShipperKey = [red]@ShipperKey[/red], " & _
"Description = [red]@Description[/red], " & _
"MaxWeight = [red]@MaxWeight[/red], " & _
"TStamp = '" & Now() & "' " & _
" WHERE ShipperUID = [red]@oldShipperUID[/red]"

The help says to use ? for the parameters in the sql statement when it goes against an odbc data source - in this case Access.
 
Well, from your code it seems that you are not using ODBC, but are using OleDb:

da.UpdateCommand = New [red]OleDb[/red]Command(sSql, Conn)

Besides, how would the command object know which parameter to put with which question mark?

Which help entry is giving you this advice?

I suspect it is a misprint, or the author intended to go back and replace the question marks with the parameters and never did so.

Try using the parameter names, it should work.

Sorry! I meant oledb.
Here's the link in the VS2005 help:
ms-help://MS.VSCC.v80/MS.MSDN.v80/MS.VisualStudio.v80.en/WD_ADONET/html/f21e6aba-b76d-46ad-a83e-2ad8e0af1e12.htm

In any event, I just want to see if there is a way to trace what happens during an update command against an Access database. I know in SQL Server I can use the tracing and view what parameters are being used but not sure how to do this with Access data.

Thanks
