database can move first for the second times??

[hcleo]

sorry about the topic it should be "can't " not "can" :þ
I was using the DAO 3.6 database, to begin a search i move my recordset to the first one using the command data1.recordset.movefirst, it's work for the first time. but the when the command is use again for the second time it return and error, why??? How can i solve this problem?

Where you want the MoveFirst Method do this:

If rst.BOF = False then MoveFirst

[hcleo]

yeah, i have use the the If rst.BOF = False then MoveFirst
method before in this way: but it still giving the same result - give the error message.

This code works fine with DAO 3.6 & Access 2000 db:

    Dim db As Database
    Dim rs As Recordset
    
    Set db = DBEngine.OpenDatabase("Nwind2k.mdb")
    
    Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("Select * from Customers")
    
    Debug.Print rs.Fields(0).Value
    rs.MoveFirst
    rs.MoveNext
    rs.MoveNext
    
    Debug.Print rs.Fields(0).Value
    rs.MoveFirst
    rs.MoveNext
    rs.MovePrevious
    Debug.Print rs.Fields(0).Value
    
    rs.MoveFirst
    rs.MoveFirst
    Debug.Print rs.Fields(0).Value

What does your code look like?

[hcleo]

First i put some data from the db to a combo box(not link to the db), after that the user can key in or click the combobox list to enter the choice. so the rs have move first twice, first time so get the data to put to the combo box second time is when the user choice the input. I'm was using the code almost same like john, just i'm using
"If Not rst.BOF Then rst.movefirst".

What sort of recordset do you have. Is it forward-only?

[hcleo]

Sorry for my late reply Michael, i'm not sure about the forward-only thing, but i have find out that this problem just occur in the current form, so may be there is some coding problem some way in my form thats make this happen, i'm still checking the source code. Any suggestion?
