Example

The following example shows how to use the NewRecord property to determine if the current record is a new record. The NewRecordMark procedure sets the current record to the variable intnewrec. If the record is new, a message is displayed notifying the user of this. You could run this procedure when the Current event for a form occurs.

Sub NewRecordMark(frm As Form)
    Dim intnewrec As Integer

    intnewrec = frm.NewRecord
    If intnewrec = True Then
    MsgBox "You're in a new record." _
        & "@Do you want to add new data?" _
        & "@If not, move to an existing record."
    End If
End Sub
