‘Runtime error #3251

Operation is not supported for this type of object


Dim xyz As String
xyz = [FBO To Payments subform1].Form![Pmt ID]
MsgBox ("xyz is " & xyz)
Dim dbPay As DAO.Database
Dim rcdPay As DAO.Recordset
Set dbPay = CurrentDb
Set rcdPay = dbPay.OpenRecordset("Payments")
'rcdPay.FindFirst "[Pmt ID] = [FBO To Payments subform1].Form![Pmt ID]"
-> rcdPay.FindFirst "[Pmt ID]=1588"

Thanks much

Try changing this line:
Set rcdPay = dbPay.OpenRecordset("Payments")
to:
Set rcdPay = dbPay.OpenRecordset("Payments", dbOpenDynaset)

That worked. thanks

I took that code from a text book. I guess they never tested it.

Just to clarify, Steve, you can get away without specifying dbOpenDynaset if
you OpenRecordset() on a query statement or an attached table (i.e. it's the
default for these types), but not on a table in the same database (since
dbOpenTable is the default kind.)

This is trap #2 in this article:

It would work if [Payments] were a query, not a table. The
OpenRecordset method returns a different type of recordset, by default,
for a local table than for a query or linked table. The table-type
recordset normally opened for a local table doesn't support the
FindFirst method. It does support the Seek method, which a dynaset-type
recordset doesn't.
