Why clone an MS-Access recordset?

Question

I\'m a newbie at VBA and attempting to understand someone else\'s code.

Set rstClone = Me.RecordsetClone
rstClone.MoveFirst

Answer 1

Using the recordset property can cause unintended behavior. Specifically (in Access 2010), if you refer to me.recordset, it can unexpectedly cause the form's edit buffer to be saved.

Ex.:

debug.print me.recordset.recordcount

will cause the form's record to be saved. Using recordsetClone will not exhibit this [mis]behavior.
