difference between cn.execute and rs.update?
- by every_answer_gets_a_point
i am connecting to mysql from excel using odbc. the following illustrates how i am updating the rs
With rs
    .AddNew ' create a new record
    ' add values to each field in the record
    .Fields("datapath") = dpath
    .Fields("analysistime") = atime
    .Fields("reporttime") = rtime
    .Fields("lastcalib") = lcalib
    .Fields("analystname") = aname
    .Fields("reportname") = rname
    .Fields("batchstate") = "bstate"
    .Fields("instrument") = "NA"
    .Update ' stores the new record
End With
the question is why is there a need to run cn.execute after this? havent i already updated the rs with rs.update?
