database problem

I have problems accessing my database. this is wat happens.

the code below is a part of my program.

Private Sub log()
Dim foundflag As Boolean
datavalues = Left$(strData, len (strdata, - 2)
If Len(datavalues) > 0 Then
data1.Recordset.MoveFirst <--- Problems Here!!!
foundflag = False

....... bla-bla-bla


it gives me an error of "Object Variable or With Block variable not set"

wat does this mean?

I don't know where data1 comes from, so I'll ask:

1. Have you opened your database already?
2. Have you opened your recordset already?

I have been using this with success, don't know if it fits your application...

-----------------------
Dim myDB As Database
Dim recs As Recordset

Set myDB = OpenDatabase(App.path & "\Machines.mdb")
Set recs = myDB.OpenRecordset("Departments", dbOpenSnapshot)
While Not recs.EOF
txtLegend.Text = txtLegend.Text & (recs!Description) & vbCrLf
recs.MoveNext
Wend
recs.Close
Set recs = Nothing
myDB.Close
Set myDB = Nothing
-----------------------

This, as an example, opens a database, opens a recordset and then puts the description of each item in the database onto different lines of a text control. The recordset and database are then closed.

ok ok.. i've tried the codes.. it should work but it gave me a problem saying "Type Mismatched" on this line...
I've already set 'records' as Recordset.

---> Set records = UserData.OpenRecordset("user", dbOpenSnapShot) <-----

Maybe someone else could help, but I need more info to try and help, post more code if you can. Are you sure the database contains that table?

Hi KenC.J you need to set the recordset for the Data1 object before you can really move the recordset to next record.

Code:

---

Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim foundflag As Boolean

Set db = DBEngine.Workspaces(0).OpenDatabase(App.Path & "\123.mdb", False, False)
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("Tbl456", dbOpenSnapshot)

Set Data1.Recordset = rs

'Bla...bla...bla.....

datavalues = Left$(strData, len (strdata, - 2)
If Len(datavalues) > 0 Then
Data1.Recordset.MoveFirst
foundflag = False

DAO = Data Access Object
ADO = ActiveX Data Object
