I'm trying to learn how to do some database manipulation for school using ASP. However when i go to this Web Wiz's tuturial ( http://www.webwiz.net/kb/asp_tutorials/updating_data_from_database.asp - http://www.webwiz.net/kb/asp_tutorials/updating_data_from_database.asp )
and try some of the examples such as the update form i get errors such as...

Well, the error message BOF or EOF means that the database can not find or there is a problem with the record you are trying to update.

How are you passing the id of the record you are trying to update ?
Also what is the code on the line where the error is as that will tell me what PK you should be passing to the update_form.asp page.

Thank you for the help.
I got everything including the asp code and database from http://downloads.webwiz.net/asp_tutorials/database_turorials.zip - http://downloads.webwiz.net/asp_tutorials/database_turorials.zip
If you don't feel like DLin and want to view the code please let me know
I'm trying to get a understanding to manipulate a database for a school project. However, if i can't understand a basic example it's gonna be extremely hard.

That should work out of the box without you needing to do anything.
Are you building this locally or do you have a copy online for me to look at ?

Can you view "guestbook.asp" ?

I'm doin it locally by putting the asp/html codes in the 'c:\inetpud\wwwroot' folder. I can view some of the pages such as...
delete_select.asp and it works by deleting the items.
guestbook.asp does show the DB in text from.
guestbook_form.htm shows but it does not add to the DB like it is suppose to. only adds an empty slot in the DB.
and update_select.asp shows but does not update. as soon as it hits the update button it goes to an error like posted before

I have just had a look at this and you should be using update_select.asp to select the news item you want to edit first and that will then take you to the update part.

This error means that you do not have the correct permissions set to be able to write to the database. See the page below on setting permissions:-
