SYMPTOMSModerate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.
CAUSEBecause the recordset memory is not released, each time that you loop through code, DAO may recompile, using more memory and increasing the size of the database. RESOLUTION
To avoid consuming unnecessary resources and increasing database size, use
the Close method of the Recordset object to explicitly close the
Recordset's memory when you no longer require the Recordset.

Microsoft Access automatically closes Recordset and QueryDef objects under most circumstances; however, if you explicitly close the object in your code, you can avoid occasional instances when the object remains open. The following steps demonstrate closing the Recordset and QueryDef objects using DAO.
