Run-time error 3265: error when updating an access table

[Tharka]

Hello!

Here is my issue:

I wrote a code on Excel to update an Access Table. I am using a ADODB recordset. I want to update the value of certain columns (Fields). These columns are variables.

I know the code to update a hard coded column is :

 adoRecSet!ColumnName = "Test"

and it works when i test it.

But I need to update based on a variable column.
I tried this :

adoRecSet! & item2 = "Test"

and this :

adoRecSet("adoRecSet!" & item2).Value = "Test"

But none of these work, it returns a run-time error 3265 which means it cannot find the column.

I am sure that the spelling is correct (no spaces).

Anyone knows how to fix this ?

Thanks!
Tharka

FYI here is the full code :

Dim strMyPath As String, strDBName As String, strDB As String, strSQL As StringDim i As Long, n As Long, lFieldCount As Long, k As Long
Dim rng As Range
Dim MyDeal As String
Dim NRange As Name
Dim arr(1 To 1000) As String
Dim item As Variant
Dim item2 As Variant


'instantiate an ADO object using Dim with the New keyword:
Dim adoRecSet As New ADODB.Recordset
Dim connDB As New ADODB.Connection


'--------------
'THE CONNECTION OBJECT


strDBName = "Database.accdb"
strMyPath = "C:\Users\JDoe\Documents"
strDB = strMyPath & "\" & strDBName


Set connDB = New ADODB.Connection
Set adoRecSet = New ADODB.Recordset


connDB.Open ConnectionString:="Provider = Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0; data source=" & strDB


Dim ws As Worksheet
'set the worksheet:
Set ws = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet2")


'Set the ADO Recordset object:
Set adoRecSet = New ADODB.Recordset


'Opening the table :

'--------------

adoRecSet.Open Source:=strTable, ActiveConnection:=connDB, CursorType:=adOpenStatic, LockType:=adLockOptimistic


lFieldCount = adoRecSet.Fields.Count


MyDeal = ws.Range("A1").Value


For Each NRange In ActiveWorkbook.Names
    M = M + 1
    arr(M) = NRange.Name
Next NRange


adoRecSet.Filter = adoRecSet.Fields(0).Name & " = '" & MyDeal & "'"


If adoRecSet.EOF Then
    adoRecSet.AddNew
    For Each item In arr
        adoRecSet("adoRecSet!" & item).Value = ws.Range(item).Value
    Next item
Else
    For Each item2 In arr
        adoRecSet("adoRecSet!" & item2).Value = ws.Range(item2).Value
    Next item2
End If


adoRecSet.Update
adoRecSet.Close


'close the objects
connDB.Close


'destroy the variables

Set connDB = Nothing

I could be wrong but I think this doesn't change the value of a column's name, it only changes the value of the data stored in that row for that column.
adoRecSet!ColumnName = "Test"

Generally ADO is for updating the values of fields and not for changing the definition of fields. To put it another way, the names of the columns in the table should generally be treated as read-only.

Hi and thanks for your answer!

I am actually trying to update the values of the table. I don't want to update the column name.

Sorry for the confusion.

It should be:

adoRecSet(CStr(item2)).Value = "Test"

If item2 is never numeric, you don't need the CStr.

if you know the column index I think you can just do
adoRecSet(0).Value = "Test"
adoRecSet(1).Value = 23
adoRecSet(2).Value = "M"

Thanks a lot for your anwers, it helped.
