Trying to update multiple records on Access via Excel VBA

[ARUNCHENNAI]

I'm trying to update MULTIPLE records (field "category" = "PAINT") when another field (description) contains word "paint",
in access record through Excel VBA.
Below code doesn't through any error. But no data is updating.
The sql statement is working fine when I check in directly on Access quiery.

Kindly let me know where am I making the error and provide the solution. Regards Arun

Option Explicit
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim con As ADODB.Connection
Dim dbpath
Dim sql As String, var1 As String, var2 As String
Dim i As Integer

Sub testmacro()
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("WELCOME")
var1 = "'" & Update.Controls("TextBox1") & "'"
var2 = "'*" & Update.Controls("TextBox1") & "*'"
dbpath = ws.Range("Z1").Value
Set con = New ADODB.Connection
        With con
            .Provider = "   Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0"
            .ConnectionString = dbpath
            .Properties("Jet OLEDB:Database Password") = ""
            .Open
        End With
On Error GoTo errHandler:
sql = "UPDATE T_Consolidated_1 SET Category = 'PAINT' WHERE DESCRIPTION like '*paint*';"
con.Execute sql
con.Close
Set con = Nothing
MsgBox i & " records updated", vbInformation, "Status"
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
On Error GoTo 0
Exit Sub
errHandler:
Set con = Nothing
MsgBox "Error " & Err.Number & " (" & Err.Description & ") in procedure Category_Field_Update"
End Sub

untested, what about using % wildcard?

WHERE DESCRIPTION LIKE '%paint%'

Thank you Fazza.
It works.

Just before, I found the same solution @
https://www.wiseowl.co.uk/vba-macros/videos/vba-ado-net-recordsets/ado-vba/
While doing some mad search.

Thank you so much.
