This update statement does not have any errors, but the last field does not update the field in the database. I have response.write the statement and the data is correct. It is an update statement without a where clause. Here is the statement
 
sqlUpdate = "Update site_config SET " _
 & "letterSubject = '" & strSubject & "'," _
 & "txtHeader = '" & strtxtHeader & "'," _
 & "htmlHeader = '" & strhtmlHeader & "';"
 
Can anyone help?

Its easier to see the problem when you write it out on a line:

"Update site_config SET letterSubject='x' txtHeader='x' htmlHeader='x';"

And as you can see there is no WHERE statement e.g.

"Update site_config SET letterSubject='x' txtHeader='x' htmlHeader='x' WHERE ID=" & request.querystring("ID")

At the minute you arnt telling it which record to update.

So I just want to ask, in this particular table it is only for web site settings. There is only one record and there is no primary key with an autonumber.
Do you still have to have a where clause?
 
What if you wanted to update an entire field?

your fine if you only have one record... but it's good practice to include it. If you forget it on a higher end project with say 4000 records you're screwed
