Description
Moves the position of the current record in a Recordset object.
Syntax recordset.Move rows, start The Move method syntax has these parts.Part | Description |
recordset | An object variable that represents the Recordset object whose current record position is being moved. |
rows | A signed Long value specifying the number of rows the position will move. If rows is greater than 0, the position is moved forward (toward the end of the file). If rows is less than 0, the position is moved backward (toward the beginning of the file). |
startbookmark | Optional. A Variant (String subtype) value identifying a bookmark. If you specify startbookmark, the move begins relative to this bookmark. Otherwise, Move begins from the current record. |
Remarks If you use Move to position the current record pointer before the first record, the current record pointer moves to the beginning of the file. If the Recordset contains no records and its BOF property is True, using this method to move backward causes an error.
If you use Move to position the current record pointer after the last record, the current record pointer position moves to the end of the file. If the Recordset contains no records and its EOF property is True, then using this method to move forward causes an error. If either the BOF or EOF property is True and you attempt to use the Move method without a valid bookmark, a run-time error occurs. NotesSub MoveX()

Example (Microsoft Access)
The following example uses the Move method to move forward two rows in a Recordset object:
Sub MoveForward()
Dim dbs As Database, rst As Recordset
Dim strCriteria As String
' Return reference to current database.
Set dbs = CurrentDb
' Open dynaset-type Recordset object.
Set rst = dbs.OpenRecordset("SELECT * FROM Orders " _
& "ORDER BY ShipCountry;")
rst.MoveLast
rst.MoveFirst
' Check number of records in Recordset object.
If rst.RecordCount > 2 Then
' Move forward two rows.
rst.Move 2
Debug.Print rst!ShipCountry
End If
rst.Close
Set dbs = Nothing
End Sub
Example (Microsoft Excel)
This example prompts the user to select a record number. The example then copies the selected record from the Customer recordset in the Nwindex.mdb database to Sheet1.
Dim db As Database, rs As Recordset
Set db = Workspaces(0).OpenDatabase(Application.Path & "\NWINDEX.MDB")
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("SELECT [CUSTMR_ID], [CONTACT], [REGION] " _
& "FROM Customer")
Sheets("Sheet1").Activate
aDistance = Application.InputBox("What record # you want to copy", _
Type:=2)
If aDistance = False Then ' user cancelled InputBox
Exit Sub
End If
rs.MoveFirst
rs.Move aDistance
For i = 0 To 2
ActiveCell.Offset(, i).Value = rs.Fields(i).Value
Next
rs.Close
db.Close
