Requery and return to current record

[cmray58]

I'm having trouble firing the requery command and returning to the current record instead of reverting back to record 1. I picked this up from someone else:

Dim Curr_Rec
Curr_Rec = Me.CurrentRecord
DoCmd.Echo False
Me.Requery
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acGoTo, Curr_Rec
DoCmd.Echo True
Me.FirstName.SetFocus

I have this in the after update event of a field. However, it's reverting to the previous record, not the current record. I've attached the DB. Thanks in advance.

Are you saying the way I'm using fundamentally won't work? Or is there something that needs to be adjusted? I'm trying to avoid redoing the entire thing for a new method.

I don't use that method so I'm not sure, but that argument is an offset. I'm not on a computer so can't test.

It works for me, in the immediate window.?
However I am not adding a record.

I'd put a breakpoint in the code and walk through it

It's only when you add a new record that I'm seeing the issue. You add the new record, enter the first field (Assessor), go to the last name, enter the last name, hit tab and it changes the record.

Try adding

If Me.dirty then Me.dirty = False

before setting curr_rec

or docmd acsaverecord option

That didnt work either

It's really strange what's happening though. It's not even going to another record number. I.e., it still says record 19 of 19, but the data that displayed is different.

Use Paul's method then?

Thanks this ended up working

No problem.

Yes, I am saying it is fundamentally wrong. The currentrecord returns the absolute position of a record. So assume you have the records
A
B
D
and you are on D. D is the third record. Now you add C. C Becomes the 3rd record. So your code sends you to C instead of returning to D.
