Solved Loop through datasheet form

[Kayleigh]

I have a form displayed in datasheet view and would like to create a function which loops through all records displayed (or possibly all selected records), open each one at a time and perform a specific function, then close it.
Any tips on how to perform the loop please?

the simplest way would be to add a check field/checkbox to the records displayed. The user could select the particular records you wanted to operate the code on. Now run a recordset loop from a command button to do what you want to do to the marked records.
