Record set looping

[Cobra17]

I'm trying to loop through a table records and fields. The field loops work fine, but I can't get it to move down to the next "tbl" record..


i'm using 3 record sets all based on the same table
tbl = the set I want to loop through
rst1 = loops through table field names and compares against rst2
rst2 = loops through table field names

        tbl.MoveFirst
        Do While Not tbl.EOF
            If tbl!ID_Vessel = OldVesID And tbl!Est_ID = OldEst Then
                With rst1
                    .AddNew
                    !ID_Vessel = NewVesID
                    !Est_ID = NewEst
                    For Each fld1 In rst1.Fields
                        If fld1.Name <> "ID" And fld1.Name <> "ID_Vessel" And fld1.Name <> "Est_ID" Then
                            For Each fld2 In rst2.Fields
                                If fld1.Name = fld2.Name Then
                                    If IsFieldCalculated(tblName, fld2.Name) <> True Then
                                        fld1 = fld2
                                    End If
                                End If
                            Next fld2
                        End If
                    Next fld1
                    .Update
                    .Close
                End With
            End If
            tbl.MoveNext
        Loop

I was thinking that maybe an SQL statement would work with to copy and paste if ID_Vessel = OldVesID AND Est_ID - OldEst... but i'm not sure how i could replace only the copied ID_Vessel & Est_ID with NewVesID & NewEst. or maybe some other nice and easy way.

Can you post the file with sample data? I'm not even sure if you are using access or excel here.

Hi,

Not sure why you're using 3 recordset representation on 1 table.

I've always used just 1.

So I need to understand what you're trying to do functionally.

here are the record set explanations.

tbl = i'm going through the table row by row looking for ID_Vessel and Est_ID

if the row meets the criteria then
rst1 = goes through the column header names one at a time and compares them to rst2
rst2 = goes through the column header names within rst1, and compares them to rst1

it rst1 fld1.name = rst2 fld2.name, then I copy rst1 fld1 value and put it into rst2's fld2 value, where fld = field

basically i'm trying to copy a record that has some fields that you can't copy.. like calculated fields, autonumber, things like that.. and have it dynamic so I feed it a table name and it doesn't care what type of field they are or how many fields.
