rst is a commonly used variable name for a recordset in VBA code.

 

[Old Man Devin]

What do these mean:

rst!

rst

As was said, rst is probably a recordset object, i.e. a thing holding the data from a table or query so you can do stuff to it. rst! is the preface to a reference to a particular field, so for example

NameString = rst!PersonName

would write the the entry from the field PersonName for the record the code is looking at to a string that the code can use for whatever.

Do you perhaps mean 'what is the difference between rst! and rst. ?'
