[AccessD] I need a better way to do this - looping

Here is the solution I can up with. Not elegant but works. If someone
has a better one enhance my skills.

    Do Until Myds1.EOF
        Select Case Myds1.Fields(4)
            Case Is > 100
                Myds1.MoveNext
            Case Else
                Exit Do
        End Select
    Loop
    If Myds1.EOF Then
        Myds1.Move -1
        EarliestDate = Myds1.Fields(1)
      Else
        EarliestDate = Myds1.Fields(1)
    End If
        
    DaysAbove100 = Myds.Fields(1) - Myds1.Fields(1)

So if you wind up with Nothing, you use the count of records, NO?

Let me try to explain what I am trying to calculate. Myds.Fields(4) is a
pressure variance measurement on an oilfield injection well. It should
always be below 100. The goal is to count the number of records (date
descending) from the most recent to the first one where Myds1.Fields(4)
is less than 100 for each well. The number of records per well varies.
If all the records for a well have Myds.fields(4) with a value above 100
the correct answer is the number of records for the well. If record 11
descending from the most recent is less than 100 then the correct answer
would be 10. Hope this makes sense.

I don't understand.  If you run out of records before the condition is
met, then isn't Nothing the right answer?

I use the following code to loop through a record set until the field
being checked is less than 100. This works great unless I run out of
records before the condition is met. When that happens

Earliest date is equated to nothing (no current record). What might be a
better way to do this? Thanks.

 

Do Until Myds1.EOF

        Select Case Myds1.Fields(4)

            Case Is > 100

                Myds1.MoveNext

            Case Else

                Exit Do

        End Select

    Loop

    EarliestDate = Myds1.Fields(1)
