I am reading data from one table and updating another. When the updating is completed I need to check something to see if anything was actually updated. Please tell me how can I do this. This is a stand along module not a form.

Thanks
 
Compare each record and see if the match. If the don't match then you want to update the data creat a flag and set to Y if anything was updated. You can also set a counter and see how many records were update in the same if statement.
 
use the ubiquitous {F1} with the key word "RecordsAffected". Please use the installed capabilities of the applications before asking questions in these fora.

Michael!

what is this ubiquitous {F1}?
 
Michael, I am sorry I should have specified that what I am using is Access and not VB to do this. Because I am not sure if this works in Access.

Do you also know how to check for when a record was successfully updated in Access also.
 
VB ~ VBA ~ Ms. Access. Although the reference may appear only in the code pane, it is applicable.
