I get the following error when trying to update my record

Microsoft Cursor Engine error '80040e21'

Multiple-step operation generated errors. Check each status value.

what does this mean?

Here are the lines that it has problems with:

rstplayed = rs("tplayed")
rs("tplayed") = "" & rstplayed & counter2 & ";"

rs - recordset
counter - is my counter in the loop

all i want to do is append the counter2 and a ';' on the end of the already value there
