I have a piece of code I'm messing with to normalize a recordset.
I'm trying to get the field name of rs1 and add it as a value for rs2.
I have a tried a few things, but can quite get it....

Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance..!!

Code:
Dim db As Database
Dim rs1 As Recordset
Dim rs2 As Recordset
Dim FieldCount As Integer, i As Integer
Dim fld As Field

FieldCount = 7
Set db = CurrentDb
Set rs1 = db.OpenRecordset("Table2") 'table with denormalized format
Set rs2 = db.OpenRecordset("table1") 'table with normalized format

rs1.MoveFirst

Do While Not rs1.EOF
    For i = 1 To FieldCount - 1
        If Not IsNull(rs1("Value" & i)) Then
            rs2.AddNew
            rs2!Assigned_Resource = rs1!Assigned_Resource
            [highlight #F57900]rs2!Fld_Name = rs1.Fields.Name[/highlight]
            rs2!ValueNo = rs1("Value" & i)
            rs2.Update
        End If
    Next i
    rs1.MoveNext
Loop
 
The "Fields" collection contains multiple fields (7) and you aren't specifying which field.
Try:
Code:
 Debug.Print rs1.Fields(i).Name
 rs2!Fld_Name = rs1.Fields(i).Name
 rs2!ValueNo = rs1.Fields(i).Value

Since rs1 has a [tt]Fields[/tt] collection, you can also do:

Code:
...
For i = 1 To rs1.Fields.Count 
...

Thank you Dhookum.
