DLookup in a Query

[ListO]

Hi, All...

What is the protocol for returning a field of a particular record number in a query?

I would like to pull up the field like this:

For X = 1 to DCount(queryname)

myString = DLookup([fieldname],queryname, "recordnumber =" X)

'mess around with that data for a bit

Next X

I just can't figure out how to reference it if the criteria is simply the record number in that query.

Thanks so much.

If what you are trying to do is to process a recordset in code, DLookup() is not a good method for a lot of reasons. Look up movenext in help or in this formum's archives for sample code that loops through a recordset.

FYI, relational tables do not have permanent "record numbers" as ISAM files do.
