I am getting run time error 7951 "You entered an expression that has an invalid reference to the recordset clone property., on this statement

gBogusLong1 = Me.RecordsetClone.RecordCount  whic is part of this code block

Private Sub Form_Current()
  
If Me.NewRecord Then        'should never be a new record on this form
Else
    gBogusLong1 = Me.RecordsetClone.RecordCount
    '
    If Me.RecordsetClone.RecordCount > 0 Then  'only do this if records exists.
        'clone
        ' Set up globals for the current tax record, different id's are on it.
        '
        gCurrGRBID = Nz(Me.GRBID, 0)
        '
    End If
    '
End If
'

End Sub

I copied this code block from another Access 2013 application, where it works with no issues. .

The purpose of the code is to save off the ID of the first record on the continuous screen after a requery but only if there is a record.  If the returned recordset has no records I want to bypass the setting of the ID.

Any ides why I am getting this error in this application but not the other.  Or, Is there a better way to accomplish what I am trying to do?


If I try to type the command in using the intellisense there definitely in no 'Recordcount' option available.

try verify the form's Record Source property and make sure it's linked to a Table/View?

Try to be more explicit. At least it may pin down the source of the error:


Private Sub Form_Current()

    Dim Records As DAO.Recordset

    If Not Me.NewRecord Then
        Set Records = Me.RecordsetClone
        gBogusLong1 = Records.RecordCount
       
        If gBogusLong1 > 0 Then  'only do this if records exists.
            'clone
            ' Set up globals for the current tax record, different id's are on it.
            '
            gCurrGRBID = Nz(Me.GRBID, 0)
            '
        End If
       
    End If

End Sub

The RecordsetClone return a reference to a new recordset each time it is called.

Try saving the reference first:

Dim Clone As DAO.Recordset
Set Clone = Me.RecordsetClone
    '// other code.

Thanks Ryan.  Pure oversight on my part.
