Requery Method

Applies To

Dynamic-Type Recordset object, Dynaset-Type Recordset object, Forward-Only–Type Recordset object, Recordset object, Snapshot-Type Recordset object.

Description

Updates the data in a Recordset object by re-executing the query on which the object is based.

Syntax

recordset.Requery newquerydef

The Requery method syntax has the following parts.

Part	Description

recordset	An object variable that represents an existing Microsoft Jet dynaset-, snapshot-, or forward-only–type Recordset object, or an ODBCDirect Recordset object.
newquerydef	Optional. A Variant that represents the Name property value of a QueryDef object (Microsoft Jet workspaces only).

Remarks

Use this method to make sure that a Recordset contains the most recent data. This method re-populates the current Recordset by using either the current query parameters or (in a Microsoft Jet workspace) the new ones supplied by the newquerydef argument.

In an ODBCDirect workspace, if the original query was asynchronous, then Requery will also execute an asynchronous query.

If you don't specify a newquerydef argument, the Recordset is re-populated based on the same query definition and parameters used to originally populate the Recordset. Any changes to the underlying data will be reflected during this re-population. If you didn't use a QueryDef to create the Recordset, the Recordset is re-created from scratch.

If you specify the original QueryDef in the newquerydef argument, then the Recordset is requeried using the parameters specified by the QueryDef. Any changes to the underlying data will be reflected during this re-population. To reflect any changes to the query parameter values in the Recordset, you must supply the newquerydef argument.

If you specify a different QueryDef than what was originally used to create the Recordset, the Recordset is re-created from scratch.

When you use Requery, the first record in the Recordset becomes the current record.

You can't use the Requery method on dynaset- or snapshot-type Recordset objects whose Restartable property is set to False. However, if you supply the optional newquerydef argument, the Restartable property is ignored.

If both the BOF and EOF property settings of the Recordset object are True after you use the Requery method, the query didn't return any records and the Recordset contains no data.

Example

This example shows how the Requery method can be used to refresh a query after underlying data has been changed.

Sub RequeryX()

    Dim dbsNorthwind As Database
    Dim qdfTemp As QueryDef
    Dim rstView As Recordset
    Dim rstChange As Recordset

    Set dbsNorthwind = OpenDatabase("Northwind.mdb")
    Set qdfTemp = dbsNorthwind.CreateQueryDef("", _
        "PARAMETERS ViewCountry Text; " & _
        "SELECT FirstName, LastName, Country FROM " & _
        "Employees WHERE Country = [ViewCountry] " & _
        "ORDER BY LastName")

    qdfTemp.Parameters!ViewCountry = "USA"
    Debug.Print "Data after initial query, " & _
        [ViewCountry] = USA"
    Set rstView = qdfTemp.OpenRecordset
    Do While Not rstView.EOF
        Debug.Print "    " & rstView!FirstName & " " & _
            rstView!LastName & ", " & rstView!Country
        rstView.MoveNext
    Loop

    ' Change underlying data.
    Set rstChange = dbsNorthwind.OpenRecordset("Employees")
    rstChange.AddNew
    rstChange!FirstName = "Nina"
    rstChange!LastName = "Roberts"
    rstChange!Country = "USA"
    rstChange.Update

    rstView.Requery
    Debug.Print "Requery after changing underlying data"
    Set rstView = qdfTemp.OpenRecordset
    Do While Not rstView.EOF
        Debug.Print "    " & rstView!FirstName & " " & _
            rstView!LastName & ", " & rstView!Country
        rstView.MoveNext
    Loop

    ' Restore original data because this is only a
    ' demonstration.
    rstChange.Bookmark = rstChange.LastModified
    rstChange.Delete
    rstChange.Close

    rstView.Close
    dbsNorthwind.Close
