record set to change field (1 Viewer)

[bonekrusher]

Hi all, I am trying to update a field based on another field through a record set. In this code I want to update SYS if Element_label is like 3 (the field has values 3.1, 3.3.1 etc...). Am I going about this the right way?

Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("description")
While Not rst.EOF
    With rst
    If rst![Element_Label] Like 3 Then
    rst![sys] = 3
   
    Else: End If
      End With
rst.MoveNext

Wend

Are you getting any error messages when you run this? Another way to do it might be to use an update query as well.
