Question : ADO.connection does not work for endless form

With the attached code, I only get the recordsets one by one in my access form, even I have defined the form as endless. Does this not work as a feed for endless form. And secondly, I noticed that when I get the single rs, I can't make any changes. I assume this is because I need a pass-trough-code, but the one offerred by MS (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304323/de) hasn't worked
thx for any input

Answer : ADO.connection does not work for endless form

You only set a Recordset ONCE, in the Open event of your form. However, I think you're using the term "recordset" incorrectly ... a Recordset set is a group of records; a Record is one of those records, and it's generally what you work with on a Form.

You haven't "set" your recordset to the form's recordset. You do that like this:

Set Me.Recordset = rst

You do this AFTER you fully open the recordset. From that point, you would work with the form's controls - textboxes, combos, etc - just as you would a form bound to a local table.

If you want to work with fully unbound forms, then you'll have to do a LOT more work.
