cmdStr = "SELECT [col5] FROM [table1] WHERE (id=20)," connStr = "Connection String works" Using conn As New SqlConnection(connStr) conn.Open() Using cmd As New SqlCommand(cmdStr, conn) num = cmd.ExecuteScalar().ToString() End Using num=num + 1 cmdstr2 = "UPDATE [table1] SET (col5=" & num & ") WHERE (id=20);" Using cmd As New SqlCommand(cmdStr2, conn) cmd.ExecuteNonQuery() End Using End Using
...
