Delphi and Access walkthrough
Updating the database
Being able to view the data is one thing, but we need to be able to update it.
In this example, using the test database, we'll set the score from a drop down 'Combobox', then write the new score back to the Access database.
Note: Before you try the coding below - make sure that your database will update by making changes in the DBEdit fields and writing to the database by clicking on the green tick in the Navigator. |
Simply updating the DBEdit.text is not enough. We need to actually update the field in the query object - and then post that change back to the database itself. The steps are:
procedure TForm3.ComboBox1Change(Sender: TObject); This should work and the database changes should be visible in access, if you reload the database.
