Recordset.RecordStatus property (DAO)

  • Article

Applies to: Access 2013, Office 2013

Syntax

expression .RecordStatus

expression A variable that represents a Recordset object.

Remarks

The value of the RecordStatus property indicates whether and how the current record will be involved in the next optimistic batch update.

When a user changes a record, the RecordStatus for that record automatically changes to dbRecordModified. Similarly, if a record is added or deleted, RecordStatus reflects the appropriate constant. When you then use a batch-mode Update method, DAO will submit an appropriate operation to the remote server for each record, based on the record's RecordStatus property.

Example

This example uses the RecordStatus and DefaultCursorDriver properties to show how changes to a local Recordset are tracked during batch updating. The RecordStatusOutput function is required for this procedure to run.

Sub RecordStatusX() 
 
 Dim wrkMain As Workspace 
 Dim conMain As Connection 
 Dim rstTemp As Recordset 
 
 Set wrkMain = CreateWorkspace("ODBCWorkspace", _ 
 "admin", "", dbUseODBC) 
 ' This DefaultCursorDriver setting is required for 
 ' batch updating. 
 wrkMain.DefaultCursorDriver = dbUseClientBatchCursor 
 
 ' Note: The DSN referenced below must be configured to 
 ' use Microsoft Windows NT Authentication Mode to 
 ' authorize user access to the Microsoft SQL Server. 
 Set conMain = wrkMain.OpenConnection("Publishers", _ 
 dbDriverNoPrompt, False, _ 
 "ODBC;DATABASE=pubs;DSN=Publishers") 
 
 ' The following locking argument is required for 
 ' batch updating. 
 Set rstTemp = conMain.OpenRecordset( _ 
 "SELECT * FROM authors", dbOpenDynaset, 0, _ 
 dbOptimisticBatch) 
 
 With rstTemp 
 .MoveFirst 
 Debug.Print "Original record: " & !au_lname 
 Debug.Print , RecordStatusOutput2(.RecordStatus) 
 
 .Edit 
 !au_lname = "Bowen" 
 .Update 
 Debug.Print "Edited record: " & !au_lname 
 Debug.Print , RecordStatusOutput2(.RecordStatus) 
 
 .AddNew 
 !au_lname = "NewName" 
 .Update 
 Debug.Print "New record: " & !au_lname 
 Debug.Print , RecordStatusOutput2(.RecordStatus) 
 
 .Delete 
 Debug.Print "Deleted record: " & !au_lname 
 Debug.Print , RecordStatusOutput2(.RecordStatus) 
 
 ' Close the local recordset without updating the 
 ' data on the server. 
 .Close 
 End With 
 
 conMain.Close 
 wrkMain.Close 
 
End Sub 
 
Function RecordStatusOutput(lngTemp As Long) As String 
 
 Dim strTemp As String 
 
 strTemp = "" 
 
 ' Construct an output string based on the RecordStatus 
 ' value. 
If lngTemp = dbRecordUnmodified Then _ 
 strTemp = "[dbRecordUnmodified]" 
 If lngTemp = dbRecordModified Then _ 
 strTemp = "[dbRecordModified]" 
 If lngTemp = dbRecordNew Then _ 
 strTemp = "[dbRecordNew]" 
 If lngTemp = dbRecordDeleted Then _ 
 strTemp = "[dbRecordDeleted]" 
 If lngTemp = dbRecordDBDeleted Then _ 
 strTemp = "[dbRecordDBDeleted]" 
 
 RecordStatusOutput = strTemp 
 
End Function
