Move Method - ADO
Moves the position of the current record in a Recordset object.
Applies To
Syntax
recordset.Move NumRecords, Start
Parameters
NumRecords A signed Long expression specifying the number of records the current record position moves.
Start Optional. A String or Variant that evaluates to a bookmark. You can also use one of the following BookmarkEnum values:
adBookmarkCurrent Default. Start at the current record. adBookmarkFirst Start at the first record. adBookmarkLast Start at the last record.
Remarks
The Move method is supported on all Recordset objects.
If the NumRecords argument is greater than zero, the current record position moves forward (toward the end of the recordset). If NumRecords is less than zero, the current record position moves backward (toward the beginning of the recordset).
If the Move call would move the current record position to a point before the first record, ADO sets the current record to the position before the first record in the recordset (BOF is True). An attempt to move backward when the BOF property is already True generates an error.
If the Move call would move the current record position to a point after the last record, ADO sets the current record to the position after the last record in the recordset (EOF is True). An attempt to move forward when the EOF property is already True generates an error.
Calling the Move method from an empty Recordset object generates an error.
If you pass the Start argument, the move is relative to the record with this bookmark assuming the Recordset object supports bookmarks. If not specified, the move is relative to the current record.
If you are using the CacheSize property to locally cache records from the provider, passing a NumRecords that moves the current record position outside of the current group of cached records forces ADO to retrieve a new group of records starting from the destination record. The CacheSize property determines the size of the newly retrieved group, and the destination record is the first record retrieved.
If the Recordset object is forward-only, a user can still pass a NumRecords less than zero as long as the destination is within the current set of cached records. If the Move call would move the current record position to a record before the first cached record, an error will occur. Thus, you can use a record cache that supports full scrolling over a provider that only supports forward scrolling. Because cached records are loaded into memory, you should avoid caching more records than is necessary. Even if a forward-only Recordset object supports backward moves in this way, calling the MovePrevious method on any forward-only Recordset object still generates an error.
