Can anyone please correct my UPDATE code?

I am trying to update a field called 'topic_update' with the current date and time in a table called 'TblForumTopics' after a new record has been added to a table called TblForumReplies', which has a field 'parent_topic_id' holding the value of the field 'topic_id' in 'TblForumTopics'.

Dim SQL
Dim Connection
Dim ErrorMessage

Set Connection = New clsDBConnection1
Connection.Open
SQL = "UPDATE TblForumTopics SET topic_update = Now WHERE topic_id = parent_topic_id"
Connection.Execute(SQL)
ErrorMessage = CCProcessError(Connection)
Connection.Close
Set Connection = Nothing
On Error Goto 0

Just use now() instead of now. It works with mysql.

Ex:

UPDATE tblusers SET txtLastSessionEnd=now() WHERE intUser=2;

OK?

Thanks, Alcides. I should have said I was using an Access database but Access uses the same Now() function so it should have worked. It didn't.

I've simplified the code to:

Dim Connection

Set Connection = New clsDBConnection1
Connection.Open

Connection.Execute("UPDATE TblForumTopics SET topic_date_update = Now() WHERE topic_id = parent_topic_id")

Connection.Close
Set Connection = Nothing

... oh, and I should have said that I placed the code in the AfterExecutetInsert action. Perhaps that's the wrong location?

Actually for access you may need to alter the sql as follows;

FROM:
Connection.Execute("UPDATE TblForumTopics SET topic_date_update = Now() WHERE topic_id = parent_topic_id")

TO:
Connection.Execute("UPDATE TblForumTopics SET topic_date_update = #" & Now() & "# WHERE topic_id = parent_topic_id")

Since parent_topic_id is a variable
Change the SQL to:

Connection.Execute("UPDATE TblForumTopics SET topic_date_update = #" & Now()
&
"# WHERE topic_id = " & parent_topic_id

:-) Many thanks guys!

Although the solutions offered didn't work in my case, they did provide enough clues for me to make sense of other examples in CCS Help (you might have guessed that I'm not a programmer !!!).

The variable 'topic_id' already exists as a parameter in the page I'm working with, so the code that works for me uses CCGetFromGet and is as follows:

' -------------------------------------
Dim SQL
Dim Connection
Dim ErrorMessage

Set Connection = New clsDBConnection1
Connection.Open

SQL = "UPDATE TblForumTopics SET topic_date_update = " & Connection.ToSQL(Now(), ccsDate) & " WHERE topic_id = "& Connection.ToSQL(CCGetFromGet("topic_id",0),ccsInteger) &" "

Connection.Execute(SQL)
ErrorMessage = CCProcessError(Connection)
Connection.Close
Set Connection = Nothing
On Error Goto 0
' ---------------------------------------

Now, because I'm not a programmer, can anyone please explain why

CCGetFromGet("topic_id",0),ccsInteger

needs the 0 after topic_id? What does it do?
