Why does tracing (debug) yield different results?

[Susan Bricker]

Hi. I have a form with a label (lblNavigate). The text (caption) is
supposed to state, either, "New Record" or "xxx of yyy" (where xxx =
current record number and yyy = total number of records). I set
me!lblNavigate.caption in the Form_Current( ) routine. If I don't trace
the routine, the text shows ("1 of 1"). There are, actually, 2 records
in the recordset. If I trace the routine (debug mode) the text gets
populated properly and it displays "1 of 2".

Why is this happening? How can I get the text to display the way I want
it to?

Thanks.

This is a timing issue.

In the first moment that the form loads, it loads just the first record. The
others are loaded when it gets a spare moment. When you trace through the
code, there has been a spare moment, and so the count is different.

If you are using code to get the number of records, you could force all
records to load like this:
Me.RecordsetClone.MoveLast
Debug.Print Me.RecordsetClone.RecordCount & " record(s)"
