Updating Data

Update behavior and functionality is largely dependent upon update mode (lock type), cursor type, and cursor location.

Use the Update method to save any changes you have made to the current record of a Recordset object since calling the AddNew method or since changing any field values in an existing record. The Recordset object must support updates.

If the Recordset object supports batch updating, you can cache multiple changes to one or more records locally until you call the UpdateBatch method. If you are editing the current record or adding a new record when you call the UpdateBatch method, ADO will automatically call the Update method to save any pending changes to the current record before transmitting the batched changes to the provider.

The current record remains current after you call the Update or UpdateBatch methods.
