Click next until the End of File

[Shiller]

Experts,

I'm trying to automate a process. I want my sub form to automatically
click next until the end of file then triggers the main form to move
to the next record, and the loop continues until there's no more
record. Right now I have to manually click next, and I'm not too
familiar with recordset and EOF.

Please help.

You have told us what you want to do. How about telling us what you are
trying to achieve and there may be another way to get there. That is unless
you are trying to make a movie.

the recordcount of the subform is stored into a the table link to my
main form. So every time I click on next on the subform if the
recordcount has been updated it will automatically update the table.
That's why I'm figuring out a way to click next until the end of the
record so i don't have to manually click next.

Are you simply trying to determine the quantity of records in the SubForm
that qualify for the LinkChild/MasterFields for each record in the MainForm?

I already got that part to work. here's what I'm trying to do: I want
my sub form to automatically
click next until the end of file then triggers the main form to move
to the next record, and the loop continues until there's no more
record.

lol... I really wish I was making a video but unfortunately I'm not.
I'm experimenting with this piece of code that does exactly what I'm
looking for, I place it in the on Close event of both my subform and
my main form, and it runs until the end of file of the subform then
the form before closing:
**********************************************
Private Sub Form_Close()

Dim rst As Recordset

Set rst = Me.RecordsetClone
rst.MoveLast
rst.MoveFirst
Do While Not rst.EOF
Me.Bookmark = rst.Bookmark

rst.MoveNext
Loop
Set rst = Nothing

End Sub
*********************************************

The only problem now I'm getting the following error message: "Run-
time error '2001', you canceled the previous operation"...

Can you please help,

Thanks,

Are you aware of the order of the events? When opening a form, the SubForm
opens 1st. When closing, the sequence is reversed so the MainForm closes
before the SubForm.

Allan,

I wasn't aware of the order of events, thanks to your input now I have
greater insight of what's happening when opening or closing a Main
form with subforms. I found out from another thread that an After
Update or a Before Update events may cause that problem. I got rid of
a useless After Update event in my main form and now it works.

That's great! Thanks for posting back with your success.
