    Count the records in a table to use value

    Thanks guys, I think I got it. Code now looks like this: Forms!Orders.RecordsetClone.MoveLast MsgBox "My form contains " _ & Forms!Orders.RecordsetClone.RecordCount _ & " records.", vbInformation, "Record Count" Just replace the red text with whatever form name you are using.

    Do While and Loop Statement Error

    I did that but still get the same error, Is it normal that the error will point to the do loop, even though there might be an end if missing? If so, is this a bug or is it intentionally done so?

    Type mismatch running a query (using a module)

    Setfocus on a subform

    Hi Missy Ed Thanks for the help but it still does not move the focus to the desired field. Maybe I should try redesigning my form so that it doesn't need all the subforms. Umbane
