Example from MS help file abour .seek:
it uses the example database Northwind.
This example demonstrates the Seek method by allowing the user to search for a product based on an ID number.
Code:Sub SeekX() Dim dbsNorthwind As Database Dim rstProducts As Recordset Dim intFirst As Integer Dim intLast As Integer Dim strMessage As String Dim strSeek As String Dim varBookmark As Variant Set dbsNorthwind = OpenDatabase("Northwind.mdb") ' You must open a table-type Recordset to use an index, ' and hence the Seek method. Set rstProducts = _ dbsNorthwind.OpenRecordset("Products", dbOpenTable) With rstProducts ' Set the index. .Index = "PrimaryKey" ' Get the lowest and highest product IDs. .MoveLast intLast = !ProductID .MoveFirst intFirst = !ProductID Do While True ' Display current record information and ask user ' for ID number. strMessage = "Product ID: " & !ProductID & vbCr & _ "Name: " & !ProductName & vbCr & vbCr & _ "Enter a product ID between " & intFirst & _ " and " & intLast & "." strSeek = InputBox(strMessage) If strSeek = "" Then Exit Do ' Store current bookmark in case the Seek fails. varBookmark = .Bookmark .Seek "=", Val(strSeek) ' Return to the current record if the Seek fails. If .NoMatch Then MsgBox "ID not found!" .Bookmark = varBookmark End If Loop .Close End With dbsNorthwind.Close End Sub
