Append query record count off by 1

I have an append query that I run from code within a form. The query adds
records to an empty table and then another code module processes the records.
However, every time I run the procedure from the form, I get one less record
than what was selected on the form. (Check boxes mark records for selection)
If I select 1 record, I get zero. If I select 4 records, I get 3. But when
I run the append query "stand-alone", the record count is correct and then
running the code module by itself processes correctly. Does anyone have any
ideas as to what might be causing this? I've exhausted all the debugging
techniques I know of.

Thanks in advance,
 
Glenn:

You may want to post the procedure that updates the table. Without seeing
the code it is difficult to make an accurate assessment.

That being said, if you are using a loop to perform the append for each
record, you may want to set a break point inside the loop and see how many
times it executes, and for which records.

David's suggestions are just what I would have said - but in addition,
note that if you're editing a record on the form, that record will NOT
have been saved to the table when you run the query, unless you take
specific action to do so. You can force a save of the record using
either

DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord

or

If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False

Actually it's an append query that I'm using to add records to the empty
table. Records get selected on the form via check boxes and the append query
was written in design view, called from code, but not coded to actually add
records other than doing an OpenQuery call. The append query selects records
that have been checked (equal to -1 in the check box field) but always pick
up one less than the number actually selected.

Please post your code and the SQL of the query. It still sounds like
the last record that you checked might not have yet been saved to
disk; if that is the case it wouldn't be included in the query.
