Pradeep,
In ASP all DB manipulations are realized through ADO objects.
Here is a sample of DB updating, but I recommend you some ADO tutorial. One easy and short u can read on http://www.w3schools.com/ado/
Example:
Database: Access 2000
Database name: ExampleDB
Database table: Customer
Table fields:
ID int,
Name text(40),
Email text(60),
Age int
'Updating the record with specified ID
ID=1
new_Name="Natasa Radivojevic"
new_Email="natasa_patasa@natasapatasa.com"
new_Age=30
Code:
Dim cn
Dim db_path
Dim sSQL
db_path=Server.MapPath("Customer.mdb")
connString="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & db_path &";"
set cn=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
cn.ConnectionString=connString
cn.Open
sSQL="UPDATE Customer SET Name='" & new_Name & "', Email='" & new_Email & "',Age=" & new_age & " WHERE ID=" & ID
cn.Execute sSQL
cn.Close
Set cn=Nothing
***Notice that you have to enclosed string values with an apostrophe in contrast to integer(number)
values.
However, if you need a quick help for this situation, send us the structure of the table you want to update, and you will receive the code exactly matching your purpose.
Regards,

And on the second page you can provide full details for the specified user and the possibility to change user details.

One note:
In these examples I have added another one field named ID, and this field is unique in the table; I used it in order to determinate appropriate record and its actions. You can use, however, an existing unique field (Username, I guess), in the same manner as I used ID in these examples.
Regs,
NNJ

Thanks for your help NNJ but still I'm not able to edit the contents and I'm getting error"Wrong parameter!!!" as per you code.I tried the same code and also changed the Primary key to username but no use.More details regarding to this is given:-
I'm a beginner.Please do help me.
the structure of the table is as below:-
Database used:- MS-Access 2000
NAME OF THE TABLE-contacts
groupname-*
id(Autonumber)-PRIMARY KEY
Username(Name of the person)-Text(size-150)
MailAddr(Email-id of the person)-Text(Size-80)
Residence(Residential Address)-Text
Phone(Residence phone number)-Number
Fax(Residence Fax Number)-Number
Mobile(Mobile number)-Number
Company(Name of the company working)-Text
Address(Address of the company)-Text
dept(name of the department working)-Text
office(Office phone number)-Number
officefax(Company fax number)-Number
notes(General Notes)-Text
*groupname=This field contains registered username, when the user log into his account he will be able to view or edit the details pertaining to only his account and he should not be able to see other users account or records.
This is like a database website wherein a new user registers and a new space for his records is created under his name in groupname field in the table contacts.
I have entered details to the database and when i click the update button against particular person a new page should be opened wherein I can update fields.
Thanx
Pradeep

This code works wonderful!
I have a q,
when there is an empty cell my boxes show the size of the cell
for example
Phone: size20
how can i fix that so when the field is empty it shows nothing?
Oh, and is there anyway to make a basic search function for this?
or even show fields by category?
Wow i think this is too much to ask for :o(
