ASP datasource won't allow add / update?

Code:

<%
' set up and open database connection
Set objConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") 
objConn.Open "DSN=dsnname", "username", "password"

Set objRS = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
objRS.Open "pressrelease", objConn, adOpenDynamic
objRS.AddNew
%>

When I try to execute this code, I get this error:

Code:

ADODB.Recordset error '800a0cb3' 
Current Recordset does not support updating. This may be a limitation of the provider, or of the selected locktype.

However, when I make the below call, it returns true:

Code:

Response.Write(objRS.Supports(adAddNew))

Any idea what the problem might be? Thanks very much for helping this ASP newbie.

If you don't use any locktype, it uses adLockReadOnly by default. Try this:

Code:

objRS.Open "pressrelease", objConn, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic
