Clone Method (Professional Edition Only)
See Also Example
Description
Returns a duplicate recordset object that refers to the same recordset from which it was created.
Syntax
Set recordset2 = recordset1.Clone( )
Remarks
The Clone method uses the following parts:
Part Description
recordset1 The Recordset property of a data control or an object variable identifying an open Table, Dynaset or Snapshot.
recordset2 An object variable of the same type as recordset1.
Use the Clone method to create duplicate recordset objects where each has its own current record Using Clone doesn't affect the data in the original recordset or in the underlying tables. However, you can change, add, and delete records with the clone of a Dynaset just as with the original.
You might use Clone when you want to perform an operation on a recordset requiring multiple current records. This is faster and more efficient than creating a second Dynaset.
Bookmarks are valid between recordsets and their clones, but not between recordsets created with separate CreateDynaset or CreateSnapshot methods.
