DAO Object
 
NOTE: ODBCDirect workspaces are not supported in Microsoft Access 2013. Use ADO if you want to access external data sources without using the Microsoft Access database engine.
 
Gets the next set of records, if any, returned by a multi-part select query in an OpenRecordset call, and returns a Boolean value indicating whether one or more additional records are pending (ODBCDirect workspaces only).
 

Syntax

expression .NextRecordset
expression A variable that represents a Recordset object.
 

Return value

Boolean
 

Remarks

In an ODBCDirect workspace, you can open a Recordset containing more than one select query in the source argument of OpenRecordset, or the SQL property of a select query QueryDef object, as in the following example.
SELECT LastName, FirstName FROM Authors WHERE LastName = 'Smith'; SELECT Title, ISBN FROM Titles WHERE Pub_ID = 9999
 
 
The returned Recordset will open with the results of the first query. To obtain the result sets of records from subsequent queries, use the NextRecordset method.
 
If more records are available (that is, there was another select query in the OpenRecordset call or in the SQL property), the records returned from the next query will be loaded into the Recordset, and NextRecordset will return True, indicating that the records are available. When no more records are available (that is, results of the last select query have been loaded into the Recordset), then NextRecordset will return False, and the Recordset will be empty.
 
You can also use the Cancel method to flush the contents of a Recordset. However, Cancel also flushes any additional records not yet loaded.
 

Example

This example uses the NextRecordset method to view the data from a compound SELECT query. The DefaultCursorDriver property must be set to dbUseODBCCursor when executing such queries. The NextRecordset method will return True even if some or all of the SELECT statements return zero records; it will return False only after all the individual SQL clauses have been checked.

     Dim conPubs As Connection
     Dim rstTemp As Recordset
     Dim intCount As Integer
     Dim booNext As Boolean
    
     ' Create ODBCDirect Workspace object and open Connection
     ' object. The DefaultCursorDriver setting is required
     ' when using compound SQL statements.
     Set wrkODBC = CreateWorkspace("", _
     "admin", "", dbUseODBC)
     wrkODBC.DefaultCursorDriver = dbUseODBCCursor
    
     ' Note: The DSN referenced below must be set to
     ' use Microsoft Windows NT Authentication Mode to
     ' authorize user access to the Microsoft SQL Server.
     Set conPubs = wrkODBC.OpenConnection("Publishers", , , _
     "ODBC;DATABASE=pubs;DSN=Publishers")
    
     ' Construct compound SELECT statement.
     Set rstTemp = conPubs.OpenRecordset("SELECT * " & _
     "FROM authors; " & _
     "SELECT * FROM stores; " & _
     "SELECT * FROM jobs")
    
     ' Try printing results from each of the three SELECT
     ' statements.
     booNext = True
     intCount = 1
     With rstTemp
     Do While booNext
     Debug.Print "Contents of recordset #" & intCount
     Do While Not .EOF
     Debug.Print , .Fields(0), .Fields(1)
     .MoveNext
     Loop
     booNext = .NextRecordset
     Debug.Print " rstTemp.NextRecordset = " & _
     booNext
     intCount = intCount + 1
     Loop
     End With
    
     rstTemp.Close
     conPubs.Close
     wrkODBC.Close
    
End Sub
 
 
Another way to accomplish the same task would be to create a prepared statement containing the compound SQL statement. The CacheSize property of the QueryDef object must be set to 1, and the Recordset object must be forward-only and read-only.
