The resource i need for that is apparently unavailable, prob cos i got a dodgey copy

 

[MajP]

This is old syntax that is generated by the wizard

Domenuitem means execute a menu item. In this case this is on the forms menu, under "Records", "Save Record". Menuversion70 is like a software version.

do menu item is old, the new way is to use

docmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord

It is the same as choosing, "Records" "save Record" from the menu bar.
