current record

The record in a Recordset object that you can use to modify or examine data. Use the Move methods to reposition the current record in a recordset. Use the Find methods (with a dynaset- or snapshot-type Recordset object) or the Seek method (with a table-type Recordset object) to change the current record position according to specific criteria.

Only one record in a Recordset can be the current record; however, a Recordset may have no current record. For example, after a dynaset-type Recordset record has been deleted, or when a Recordset has no records, the current record is undefined. In this case, operations that refer to the current record result in a trappable error.
