Typically, when you work with all the records in a Recordset object, your code will loop through the records by using the MoveNext method until the EOF property is set to True. Conversely, if you use the MoveFirst method on a Recordset object containing records, the first record becomes the current record if you then use the MovePrevious method, there is no current record and the BOF property is set to True. If you use the MoveLast method on a Recordset object containing records, the last record becomes the current record if you then use the MoveNext method, the current record becomes invalid and the EOF property is set to True. If you delete the last remaining record in the Recordset object, the BOF and EOF properties may remain False until you attempt to reposition the current record. When you move beyond the beginning or end of the Recordset, there is no current record or no record exists.

When you open a Recordset object that contains at least one record, the first record is the current record and the BOF and EOF properties are False they remain False until you move beyond the beginning or end of the Recordset object by using the MovePrevious or MoveNext method, respectively. If you open a Recordset object containing no records, the BOF and EOF properties are set to True, and the Recordset object's RecordCount property setting is 0. If either the BOF or EOF property is True, there is no current record. The location of the current record pointer determines the BOF and EOF return values.

You can use the BOF and EOF properties to determine whether a Recordset object contains records or whether you've gone beyond the limits of a Recordset object when you move from record to record. SyntaxĮxpression A variable that represents a Recordset object. Returns a value that indicates whether the current record position is after the last record in a Recordset object.
