problem copying fields

I have an Access table with 135 fields, I want to select a record in the table, and copy it to a table in a different database. I then want to review the and edit the data and when happy write the whole record back to the first table.



Having set up a pair of ADODC controls connected to the tables I tried like this



Adodc1.recordset = “Select * from table1 where Myfield1 = ’”& target &”’



Adodc2.recordset.addnew

For I=0 to Adodc1.recordset.fields.count-1

Adodc2.recordset.fields(I)=Adodc1.recordset.fields (I)

Next I

Adodc2.recordset.updatebatch



This works fine but I don’t want to keep adding records to the second table I want to overwrite the first record each time so I replaced the .addnew with .movefirst



Now I get errors on the update line saying “too many fields defined”, if I reduce the number of fields copied I get “the query is too complex”



Any idea what is going on here?

Just run an insert command to insert the new record into the other database.
Code:
INSERT INTO Database1.dbo.TableName
SELECT * 
FROM Database2.dbo.TableName
WHERE SomeField = SomeValue

I would strongly advise against using ADODC controls in VB6.
They are very limiting in their abilities, besides it's always better to learn to code everything yourself, you have much more flexiblity.
