# CancelUpdate Method (RDS)
Cancels any changes made to the current or new row of a [Recordset](../../../ado/reference/ado-api/recordset-object-ado.md) object.  
  
> [!IMPORTANT]
>  Beginning with Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, RDS server components are no longer included in the Windows operating system (see Windows 8 and [Windows Server 2012 Compatibility Cookbook](https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=27416) for more detail). RDS client components will be removed in a future version of Windows. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature. Applications that use RDS should migrate to [WCF Data Service](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=199565).  
  
## Syntax  
  
```  
  
DataControl.CancelUpdate  
```  
  
#### Parameters  
 *DataControl*  
 An object variable that represents an [RDS.DataControl](../../../ado/reference/rds-api/datacontrol-object-rds.md) object.  
  
## Remarks  
 The Cursor Service for OLE DB keeps both a copy of the original values and a cache of changes. When you call **CancelUpdate**, the cache of changes is reset to empty, and any bound controls are refreshed with the original data.  
  
## Applies To  
 [DataControl Object (RDS)](../../../ado/reference/rds-api/datacontrol-object-rds.md)
