Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Purpose

Saves the contents of the copy buffer to an updatable Recordset object.

 

Parameters

sType(Optional) A constant indicating the type of update, as specified in Settings (ODBCDirect workspaces only).
bForce(Optional) A Logical  value indicating whether or not to force the changes into the database, regardless of whether the underlying data has been changed by another user since the AddNew, Delete, or Edit call. If True, the changes are forced and changes made by other users are simply overwritten. If False (default), changes made by another user while the update is pending will cause the update to fail for those changes that are in conflict. No error occurs, but the BatchCollisionCount and BatchCollisions properties will indicate the number of conflicts and the rows affected by conflicts, respectively (ODBCDirect workspaces only).

 

Settings

You can use the following values for the sType argument. You can use the non-default values only if batch updating is enabled
