Form.Recordset (Access)

Returns or sets the ADO Recordset or DAO Recordset recordset that represents the record source for the specified recordset. Read/write recordset.

The Recordset property returns the Recordset object that provides the data being browsed in a form, report, list box control, or combo box control. If a form is based on a query, for example, referring to the Recordset property is the equivalent of cloning a Recordset object by using the same query. However, unlike using the RecordsetClone property, changing which record is current in the recordset returned by the form's Recordset property also sets the current record of the form. The read/write behavior of the Recordset property is determined by the type of recordset (ADO or DAO) and the type of data (Access or SQL) contained in the recordset identified by the property.
