Hi,
I'm a bit of an access-dummy, and i suppose this problem of mine has a
rather simple solution, but nevertheless i'm not sure i see it at the
moment.
I've got an access-form in datasheet-view and i want to iterate over
it's records and set some values according to our business logic. This
action should be triggered by the user via a button. I suppose i need
to access the record-set the form is based on doing something like:
With FormRecordSet
If .EOF = False Then
FormRecordSet(" column1")="What everValueIWantT oSetItTo"
.MoveNext
End With
But, how do I access the form's record-set? And is there a better
solution to this problem?
Thanks for any input!

I would probably rather execute an action query (update) with the same
filter or where clause as the form in stead. Then requery the form.
I wouldn't be surprised, though, if a couple of smallish alterations of
your code, would work - some air code
dim FormRecordSet as form
set FormRecordSet = me!frmSubFormCo ntrol.Form.Reco rdsetclone
With FormRecordSet
' an .eof test and .movefirst here?
Do While not .EOF
.Edit
.Fields("YourFi eldName").Value = "WhateverValueI WantToSetItTo"
.Update
.MoveNext
Loop
' .movefirst ' ?
End With
set FormRecordSet = nothing
Note - the referencing when assigning the recordsetclone - you say this
is a datasheet, then I assume it is a subform, and that the button
you're pressing, is within a main form. Then you need to refer through
the main form, using the subform control name, which can differ from
the name in the database window.

Yes, I think a .MoveFirst is warranted at the top of the loop, because
if the subform is selected on a non-first record, the recordsetclone
will be starting there as well.

But there's no reason to change data by looping through a form's
recordset, unless the changes you make are dependent on complex
considerations that aren't found in the record you're operating on.
This is a point that perhaps got lost in Roy's post, but I can't
stress it enough. Looping through recordsets is something that
should only seldom be done in order to update data. It's sequential
thinking, whereas the efficient method is thinking in sets of data
and using SQL to operate on those sets.

I agree with you. But as I said before I'm not very proficient in
access, so I shouldn't leave out a chance to learn something, although
if it's through doing things not the way it ought to be.
For this small problem I had to solve here my solution is now
sufficient - for bigger operations i tend to do things directly in the
database (which is not an access-database). This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

Hi guys,
Say I made a SELECT statement to my sql DB that would return 50 rows
that I will use a sqldatareader to access. Instead of iterating through
each and every row of the datareader, I'd like to just iterate through,
say, rows 20 through 30.
How can one do this?

Is there a way to iterate the components on a form?
I need to determine whether an instance of my custom component (a
System.ComponentModel component) is present in a form. I have tried
iterating the Controls collection, but components do not appear to be in
that collection-- I think it's because components inherit from
MarshalByRefObject, rather than Control.
So, how do I find a form's components collection? Thanks in advance.
