Returns a bookmark indicating the most recently added or changed record.
Syntax
expression .LastModified
expression A variable that represents a Recordset object.
Remarks
You can use the
LastModified property to move to the most recently added or updated record. Use the
LastModified property with table- and dynaset-type
Recordset objects. A record must be added or modified in the
Recordset object itself in order for the
LastModified property to have a value.
Example
This example uses the LastModified property to move the current record pointer to both a record that has been modified and a newly created record.
Sub LastModifiedX()
Dim dbsNorthwind As Database
Dim rstEmployees As Recordset
Dim strFirst As String
Dim strLast As String
Set dbsNorthwind = OpenDatabase("Northwind.mdb")
Set rstEmployees = _
dbsNorthwind.OpenRecordset("Employees", _
dbOpenDynaset)
With rstEmployees
' Store current data.
strFirst = !FirstName
strLast = !LastName
' Change data in current record.
.Edit
!FirstName = "Julie"
!LastName = "Warren"
.Update
' Move current record pointer to the most recently
' changed or added record.
.Bookmark = .LastModified
Debug.Print _
"Data in LastModified record after Edit: " & _
!FirstName & " " & !LastName
' Restore original data because this is a demonstration.
.Edit
!FirstName = strFirst
!LastName = strLast
.Update
' Add new record.
.AddNew
!FirstName = "Roger"
!LastName = "Harui"
.Update
' Move current record pointer to the most recently
' changed or added record.
.Bookmark = .LastModified
Debug.Print _
"Data in LastModified record after AddNew: " & _
!FirstName & " " & !LastName
' Delete new record because this is a demonstration.
.Delete
.Close
End With
dbsNorthwind.Close
End Sub
This example uses the AddNew method to create a new record with the specified name. The AddName function is required for this procedure to run.
Sub AddNewX()
Dim dbsNorthwind As Database
Dim rstEmployees As Recordset
Dim strFirstName As String
Dim strLastName As String
Set dbsNorthwind = OpenDatabase("Northwind.mdb")
Set rstEmployees = _
dbsNorthwind.OpenRecordset("Employees", dbOpenDynaset)
' Get data from the user.
strFirstName = Trim(InputBox( _
"Enter first name:"))
strLastName = Trim(InputBox( _
"Enter last name:"))
' Proceed only if the user actually entered something
' for both the first and last names.
If strFirstName <> "" and strLastName <> "" Then
' Call the function that adds the record.
AddName rstEmployees, strFirstName, strLastName
' Show the newly added data.
With rstEmployees
Debug.Print "New record: " & !FirstName & _
" " & !LastName
' Delete new record because this is a demonstration.
.Delete
End With
Else
Debug.Print _
"You must input a string for first and last name!"
End If
rstEmployees.Close
dbsNorthwind.Close
End Sub
Function AddName(rstTemp As Recordset, _
strFirst As String, strLast As String)
' Adds a new record to a Recordset using the data passed
' by the calling procedure. The new record is then made
' the current record.

!FirstName = strFirst
!LastName = strLast
