i cant update my database table in mysql and mysql database already have amin and am remarks

Answer 1

I suppose that the object com is you MySqlCommand. If this is the case the line

 .CommandText = "SELECT * FROM attendance WHERE id_no LIKE '" & Txtid.Text & "' AND date LIKE '" & LblDate.Text & "'AND am_out is NOT NULL"

is a SELECT statement and cannot update anything when this command is executed

Said that, I suggest to correctly implement a parameterized query for every part of your query, and, of course, use the correct statement that updates your record

sql = "UPDATE attendance SET  am_out=@am_out, noon_remarks=@noon_remarks " & _
      "WHERE id_no= @id AND date LIKE  @dt and am_out is null"

Try
    With com
        .Connection = con
        .CommandText = sql
        .Parameters.AddWithValue("@am_out",LblTime.Text)
        .Parameters.AddWithValue("@noon_remarks",remarks)
        .Parameters.AddWithValue("@id",Txtid.Text )
        .Parameters.AddWithValue("@dt",Convert.ToDateTime(LblDate.Text ))
    End With
    com.ExecuteNonQuery()
