Public Sub UpdateBatchX()

	Dim rstTitles As ADODB.Recordset
	Dim strCnn As String
	Dim strTitle As String
	Dim strMessage As String

	' Assign connection string to variable.
	strCnn = "driver={SQL Server};server=srv;" & _
		"uid=sa;pwd=;database=pubs"

	Set rstTitles = New ADODB.Recordset
	rstTitles.CursorType = adOpenKeyset
	rstTitles.LockType = adLockBatchOptimistic
	rstTitles.Open "titles", strCnn, , , adCmdTable
	
	rstTitles.MoveFirst

	' Loop through recordset and ask user if she wants 
	' to change the type for a specified title.
	Do Until rstTitles.EOF
		If Trim(rstTitles!Type) = "psychology" Then
			strTitle = rstTitles!Title
			strMessage = "Title: " & strTitle & vbCr & _
				"Change type to self help?"

			If MsgBox(strMessage, vbYesNo) = vbYes Then
				rstTitles!Type = "self_help"
			End If
		End If

		rstTitles.MoveNext
	Loop

	' Ask if the user wants to commit to all the 
	' changes made above.
	If MsgBox("Save all changes?", vbYesNo) = vbYes Then
		rstTitles.UpdateBatch
	Else
		rstTitles.CancelBatch
	End If

	' Print current data in recordset.
	rstTitles.Requery
	rstTitles.MoveFirst
	Do While Not rstTitles.EOF
		Debug.Print rstTitles!Title & " - " & rstTitles!Type
		rstTitles.MoveNext
	Loop

	' Restore original values because this is a demonstration.
	rstTitles.MoveFirst
	Do Until rstTitles.EOF
		If Trim(rstTitles!Type) = "self_help" Then
			rstTitles!Type = "psychology"
		End If
		rstTitles.MoveNext
	Loop
	rstTitles.UpdateBatch
