Hi ildus, Thanks for the sample! I was able to get update to work and figure out where we differ.
I was using the personID to do multiple deletes or updates. The logic was similar to query where we use the Person id to query the phone database for multiple phone records that are associated with the Person. Unfortunately what works for query does not work for update or delete. For update or delete we have to use the Phone ID to access the single row in the phone database to delete or update. So now I do a query using PersonID and get all the phone records for the person. Then I get each record's PhoneID and use it to update individual rows in the phone database. This approach works. Kindly let me know if there is a better approach. Thanks for all the help. Sam On Feb 24, 4:21 pm, rex <iha...@gmail.com> wrote: > Sam, > > I think the problem is how you created thecontactentry.
