Record navigation buttons work backward

[jonesy29847]

I think I hosed my self here, I added an Autonumber field to a table with 277 records in it, I then made the field a key field.

I have record navigation buttons with the following code:

Private Sub Gotonext_Click()
    With Recordset
        If .AbsolutePosition = .RecordCount - 1 Then
        DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acFirst
    Else
        DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNext
    End If
End With
End Sub

Private Sub GotoPrev_Click()
    With Recordset
        If .AbsolutePosition = 0 Then
        DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acLast
    Else
        DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acPrevious
    End If
End With

End Sub

When I use the Next record button I go to the first, designed in for wraparound, but when I use the Prev button the next record is displayed and Next goes to prev.

Have you tried:
If .AbsolutePosition = 1 Then

I tried to add a key field, and this is the result. It would appear that when I pasted the table the records were pasted backwards. Can someone explain to me what happened.

This code moves to the next record...

Private Sub Gotonext_Click()
    With Recordset
    DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acPrev
End With
End Sub

...and this code moves to the previous.

Private Sub GotoPrev_Click()
    With Recordset
    DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNext
End With
End Sub

I have hosed myself, and want to know what mistake I made, and how to fix it.

Much thanks.

Why do you have the With Recordset in the code? You are not using it. If you were then your code would look like:

With Me.Recordset
   .MoveNext
End With

[jonesy29847]

No joy.

I really think I have hosed the table somehow when I tried to add an Autonumber key field to the table.

Thanks

[RuralGuy]

Adding an AutoNumber field to a table should not be a problem. Have you already done a Compact and Repair? Any chance you can post your db?

[jonesy29847]

I tried compact and repair, no joy, file attached

I made some changes but it seemed to be working as expected from the jump.

[jonesy29847]

Yes I see the changes, but the next button still moves to the previous record, and the previous button moves to the next record.

When I originally coded the buttons next called DoCmd.GotoRecord,,acNext and vise versa. Then I got the bright idea of adding an Autonumber Key field, after that I was hosed.

[jonesy29847]

Correction, they work correctly, but the underlying code is backward.

[RuralGuy]

Are we talking about the MainForm?

[jonesy29847]

Yes Main.

[RuralGuy]

What underlying code do you feel is backwards?

Private Sub Gotonext_Click()
   With Me.Recordset
      If .AbsolutePosition < .RecordCount - 1 Then
         .MoveNext
      End If
   End With
End Sub
Private Sub GotoPrev_Click()
   With Me.Recordset
      If .AbsolutePosition <> 0 Then
         .MovePrevious
      End If
   End With
End Sub

[jonesy29847]

Perhaps I was a little convoluted in my post. I should have stated

When I use the Next record button I go the the Previous, and when I use the Previous record button I got to the Next

There have been a few iterations with the code, but always the same result, the code that should navigate to the next record navigates to the previous, and vice versa. I initially designed to code to wraparound, to avoid the error message that comes up when you are at either end of the recordset and try to navigate beyond it.

When I first switched record navigation to VB all was well, then I got the bright idea to add the autonumber field and make it the key.

I exported the records to excel, blew the table data away, added the autonumber field and populated it, in excel. When I imported the spreadsheet I was hosed.

Adding to all this confusion the Autonumber field looks correct, the lowest number is assigned to the first record, and the highest to the last.

Whew!

You do know that you have an OrderBy Clause property of the form that sorts descending, right?
