Update Master record when new child record added

My database is simple, it has a Master record that has:
Invoive No

Client

Employee

Money

Last Updated

......
and is linked to another table - comments - by way of the Invoice No.
The Comments table just has on it

Invoice No

Comments

Update_by

Date
When a new comments record is added I want the Master record 'Last_Updated' field to be updated with the date that the new 'Comments' record has been added.
I know this is a 'After Record added' event, but I don't know how to code this.
Assistance appreciated

Hi,
here is a sample:

str = "update [MasterTable] set [Last Updated]='" & values("Date") & "' where [Invoive No]=" & values("Invoive No")

dbConnection.Execute str

I have entered
str = "update [Aged Debtors] set [Last_Updated]='" & values("Date") & "' where [Transaction Reference]=" & values("Transaction Reference")

dbConnection.Execute str
within the After Record Added section and nothing happens.
Any idea?

Jeremy,
instead of executing this SQL query print it on the web page to see if it looks right. You can also test it against your database to see if it works.
response.write str command will print the query for you.

Jeremy,
try to print this query on the page:

str = "update [Aged Debtors] set [Last_Updated]='" & values("Date") & "' where [Transaction Reference]=" & values("Transaction Reference")

Response.write str



and then execute it in the database.

I am sorry but I don't understand what you are asking me to do. How do you print query on the page. Do I use ASP snippets ???

Are you wanting me to create a new field with this code in it to populate
Sorry but this is making no sense to me.

Hi,
to print query on the page use Response.Write statement:

str = "update [Aged Debtors] set [Last_Updated]='" & values("Date") & "' where [Transaction Reference]=" & values("Transaction Reference")

Response.write str

Jane,
Not having a great deal of success understanding where you want me to put this, I added it to the Event -
Still no joy nothing got added to the main table.
Would it help if I opened a ticket?
