    Are you running your code live? If so, there will be no object context. In order to work in debug and in production, always use the following syntax with ObjectContext: Dim ctxobject As ObjectContext Dim objAccount As Object Set ctxobject = GetObjectContext() if ctxobject Is Nothing then...

    Newbie learning by myself trying to write print statement

    Your code is fine. However, it is writing the value into the Immediate window, and you can't see the window unless you switch back to the IDE and open the immediate window (from the View menu) while the program is still running. If you want to see the result from your executable window, either...

    Select TOP N records for each group

    I think you have to do it with a cursor and a temp table. Retrieve all the machine numbers into your cursor, loop through it to append the top 15 rows for that machine. Then select * from the temp table.

    ADO database locking and timeout

    The indefinite hang-up in your first message was probably caused by attempting to return a recordset from an update query. Update queries don't create recordsets. Is your table indexed on the fields in the where clause? You didn't say how long it takes to update the table if only one PC is...

    4 fields, all numbers need to select max...
