ADO Recordset .Findfirst anomaly (Access 2007 ACCDB front end)

[JimfromIndy]

My table, "ItemMaster" has a unique index "ItemDescription". It has
other keys, including an autonumber Primary Key. Table's been around
for awhile.

In vba, I open up rstItemMaster as a DAO recordset on the Item Master
as a dynaset. First, I check to see if my (excel-based) transaction
has a duplicate item description. If it does not, I decide whether to
Add or Update the new transaction base on the presence or absence of
other keys. In all cases, though, I rely on the fact that I've already
checked to see if there is an existing record in the table with that
descripiton (see code below):

The problem I'm having is that the initial
"rstItemMaster.FindFirst...." action is not finding a match, even
though there is absolutely a matching description already resident in
the table. As a result, when I go to update a different (but already
existing) record with this description, I get an error indicating I'm
trying to add a duplicate record.

I've copied and pasted the exact same criteria from the
rstItemMaster.FindFirst method to a "DLookup" in the immediate window
(to maintain the exact same context...), and the DLookup FINDS the
duplicate record. I will admit to struggling a little with the
preponderance of double quotes in my descriptions, but the fact that I
can copy and paste it exactly into the DLookup suggests the quotes
aren't the issue. (FYI, I'm also cursed with lots of descriptions
containing single quotes as well....)

Ideas? Resources?

Hi JimFromIndy

I replied to this question on:
   http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/accessdev/threads
(though it was a DAO recordset there.)

You're right. It's a DAO recordset.I will continue on the other group
