Question : Access 2003: Is it possible to edit and update a tables data using a recordset

My code currently loads the table data based on selected combo box value. It displays its value in a unbound form. I can change the data, then click the Save button. Which then opens the RecordSet based on the EmployeeID then it deletes the existing Employee and then saves the Employee, but of course the table thinks this is a new entry so it gives it a new EmployeeID. Is there a way to update an existing employee without having to delete the employee from the table and update its existing values to the new ones supplied on the form? Here is my code for the Save button...
