Help!!! How do you find current record value?

[Sal]

Newbie Here)I have an access database that I am using in VB. I need to return the value of the access database ID# to the program. In other words... I have 30 records, which are actually questions. The program needs to know which question or (Record) is selected. In access, the ID field is set to autonumber and tells which record is being viewed.

How do I do this in VB. I have exhausted my books. They all say how to move to previous, last, next, first, etc., but do not discuss how to show the current record ID.

Is it something like...

dim CurrentRecord as variant
CurrentRecord = data1.recordset.fields("Id")

Trying to figure out which record the database is looking at. Is it record 1 of 30 or record 26 of 30. How do I return this value to my program????

Please offer help.

Thanks,
Sal

Hi there, if your refering to record position try this...

dim CurrentRecord as integer
CurrentRecord = data1.recordset.absoluteposition + 1

Hope this works for ya ...
