Bookmark

Returns a bookmark that uniquely identifies the current record in a Recordset object, or sets the current record in a Recordset object to the record identified by a valid bookmark.

Return Values

Sets or returns a Variant expression that evaluates to a bookmark.

Remarks

Use the Bookmark property to save the position of the current record and return to that record at any time.

When you open a Recordset object, each of its records has a unique bookmark. To save the bookmark for the current record, assign the value of the Bookmark property to a variable. To quickly return to that record at any time after moving to a different record, set the Recordset object's Bookmark property to the value of that variable.

The user may not be able to view the value of the bookmark. Also, users should not expect bookmarks to be directly comparable—two bookmarks that refer to the same record may have different values.
