Data Control

Using Bookmarks

You can use bookmarks to save the position of a certain record, so that you can return to it at another time. To save a position, all you need to do is go to the position you want to save save the value of Data1.Recordset.Bookmark to a Variant variable. Then to return to that position,  set the Data1.Recordset.Bookmark property to the contents of the variable:

Dim varBookmark As Variant '// bookmark variable
varBookmark = datTitles.Recordset.Bookmark '// save the position
datTitles.Recordset.FindFirst "ISBN = '0-0131985-2-12'"
If datTitles.Recordset.NoMatch = True Then
    '// we will have been brought to the first record. Go back to the record we were at
    datTitles.Recordset.Bookmark = varBookmark
    MsgBox "No match found"
End If
