I am using the VBA below to try to update the FirstName, LastName and MiddleName to a table. Everything seems to be working except when I try to write the string values to the record set.

Any ideas why this is not working?



Code:
Option Compare Database

Private Sub parseNames()
Dim dbs
Dim qdf
Dim rst
Dim firstName as String
Dim lastName as String
Dim midName as String


Set db = CurrentDb()
Set qdf = db.QueryDefs("NameParse")
Set rst = qdf.OpenRecordset()


If Not (rst.EOF And rst.BOF) Then


    rst.MoveFirst
    Do Until rst.EOF = True
        rst.Edit
        emailName = rst("Email Name")


            If emailName <> "" Then
        'here I am doing some work to parse out first, last and middle names from email addresses
   
            End If
            firstName = Trim(firstName)
            lastName = Trim(lastName)
            midName = Trim(midName)


[B]            rst.FirstName.Value = firstName[/B]
[B]            rst.LastName.Value = lastName[/B]
[B]            rst.MiddleName.Value = midName[/B]
        rst.MoveNext
    Loop
    
End If


End Sub

Also replace:

Code:
rst[COLOR=#ff0000].[/COLOR]FirstName.Value = firstName

with
Code:
[B]rst[COLOR=#0000ff]![/COLOR]FirstName = firstName[/B]
