Example
The following example shows how to use the NewRecord property to determine if the current record is a new record. The NewRecordMark procedure sets the current record to the variable intnewrec. If the record is new, a message is displayed notifying the user of this. You could run this procedure when the Current event for a form occurs.
Sub NewRecordMark(frm As Form) Dim intnewrec As Integer intnewrec = frm.NewRecord If intnewrec = True Then MsgBox "You're in a new record." _ & "@Do you want to add new data?" _ & "@If not, move to an existing record." End IfEnd Sub
