Recordset bookmarks

This code doesn't seem change the bookmark value. I can't tell why not.

    Dim State_rst As DAO.Recordset
    Dim lngCountOfSourceItems As Long
    Dim lngOriginatingRecord As Long           ' will be a recordset bookmark
    Dim i As Integer ' my record counter index

    Set State_rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("tblStates", dbOpenDynaset)
    State_rst.MoveLast           'Makes sure count below is correct
    Let lngCountOfSourceItems = State_rst.RecordCount
    State_rst.MoveFirst          ' Make sure to start at beginning
    For i = 1 To lngCountOfSourceItems
        Let lngOriginatingRecord = State_rst.Bookmark 
        << do something >>
    State_rst.MoveNext
    Next

If I may ask a silly question, what type of data is a bookmark? If silly, I can accept that. I suppose debug.print won't display the data properly. My watched variable seems to be an array now. Dang - it's late.
