enable = false not working

[Guest]

Hi,

The following is code for my navigation buttons. When a subform loads,
depending on where in the recordset you are, the navigation buttons are
either enabled or disabled.

My problem being is that when a subform loads, and there are no records yet
in the subform, my code to disable the 'previous' command button (cmd_prev)
does not appear to be working. I would really appreciate someone looking at
my code and seeing if you can spot the error. I think there may be some sort
of logical conflict with the
If recClone.RecordCount = 0 Then
and the
If Me.NewRecord Then
parts of the code.

Thanks in advance.


'********Code Starts here*************
Private Sub Form_Current()
Dim recClone As Recordset
Dim intNewRecord As Integer

'Make a clone of the recordset underlying the form so
'we can move around that without affecting the form's
'recordset

Set recClone = Me.RecordsetClone()

'If we are in a new record, disable the <Next> button
'and enable the rest of the buttons

If Me.NewRecord Then
Me.cmd_previous.Enabled = True
Me.cmd_next.Enabled = False
Me.cmd_new.Enabled = True
Exit Sub
End If

'If we reach here, we know we are not in a new record
'so we can enable the <New> button if the form allows
'new records to be added

Me.cmd_new.Enabled = Me.AllowAdditions

'But we need to check if there are no records. If so,
'we disable all buttons except for the <New> button

If recClone.RecordCount = 0 Then


Me.cmd_next.Enabled = False
Me.cmd_previous.Enabled = False

Else

'If there are records, we know that the <First> and
'<Last> buttons will always be enabled, irrespective
'of where we are in the recordset


'Synchronize the current pointer in the two recordsets,
' that is the form recordset and the cloned recordset
recClone.Bookmark = Me.Bookmark

'Next, we must see if we are on the first record
'If so, we should disable the <Previous> button

recClone.MovePrevious
Me.cmd_previous.Enabled = Not (recClone.BOF)
recClone.MoveNext

'And then check whether we are on the last record
'If so, we should disable the <Next> button

recClone.MoveNext
Me.cmd_next.Enabled = Not (recClone.EOF)
recClone.MovePrevious
End If

'And finally close the cloned recordset
recClone.Close

End Sub

would it have anything to do with the subform record source being a whole
table, and it being filtered automatically when the form is opened. Ie: I
created the subform via the wizard and when you look at the recordset for the
form, it shows the entire table ie: Cusomer (1) Representative (M) and
recorsource of form Representative is
Representative.*

Would that make a difference?
