Adding a counter to a loop

[Guest]

Hello Group,

I have code (see below), that I need to add a counter to within the loop. I
need to know that " if this is the first time through the loop.. counter = <1
then "this code", if the counter is >1 then "this code"

If Not .BOF And Not .EOF Then
.MoveFirst
Do Until .EOF

stDocName = "Rpt_WorkIssued_toSub_Admin"
[Forms]![frmUpdateSelectedZones_Admin]![txtZone] = ![ZONE]
Result = SetPrintMDE(Me.hWnd, stDocName, True, 1, False, , , -1)

.MoveNext
Loop
End If
.Close
End With

Thanks
Grant

If you just need to know "first time" or "not first time", then just use a
boolean variable:

Dim blnFirstTime As Boolean
blnFirstTime = True
If Not .BOF And Not .EOF Then
.MoveFirst
Do Until .EOF
If blnFirstTime = True Then
' put code here for the first time through
Else
' put code here for all other times through
End If
stDocName = "Rpt_WorkIssued_toSub_Admin"
[Forms]![frmUpdateSelectedZones_Admin]![txtZone] = ![ZONE]
Result = SetPrintMDE(Me.hWnd, stDocName, True, 1, False, , , -1)
blnFirstTime = False
.MoveNext
Loop
End If
.Close
End With

If all you need to know is the first time or subsequent times through the
loop, you can use a counter but don't need one. If you want to know which
time through the loop you're on, then you'll need a counter.

Examples:
(Without Counter)
Dim bolFirstTime As Boolean
If Not .BOF And Not .EOF Then

FirstTime = True
.MoveFirst
Do Until .EOF
If FirstTime Then
stDocName = "Rpt_WorkIssued_toSub_Admin"
[Forms]![frmUpdateSelectedZones_Admin]![txtZone] = ![ZONE]
Result = SetPrintMDE(Me.hWnd, stDocName, True, 1, False, ,
, -1)
Else
'Do Something Else Here
End If
.MoveNext
FirstTime = False
Loop
End If
.Close
End With

(With Counter)
Dim lngCounter As Long
If Not .BOF And Not .EOF Then
'initialize the counter at 1 for first time through
lngCounter = 0
.MoveFirst
Do Until .EOF
'Increment the counter
lngCounter = lngCounter + 1
'If lngCounter = 1 this is the first time through
If lngCounter =1 Then
stDocName = "Rpt_WorkIssued_toSub_Admin"
[Forms]![frmUpdateSelectedZones_Admin]![txtZone] =
![ZONE]
Result = SetPrintMDE(Me.hWnd, stDocName, True, 1, False,
, , -1)
Else
'Do something else here
End If
.MoveNext
Loop
End If
.Close
End With
