[AccessD] rsR("order") vs rsR!Order

Thanks Jim,

I was trying to find out which one would be faster but was struggling to
find the right question to ask Google to get meaningful results.  '! vs ""
Access Query' wasn't working for me too well :)

Given the tiny workload and that performance is not a constraint it is
probably neither here nor there in this case, but if the load gets heavy
and/or speed is critical, than that sort of thing is good to know for future
reference.

Cheers
Darryl.

It's also a tad faster.  All the bang/dot notation internally is converted
to that format before being executed.

Hi guys & Gals,

Slower day at work today so I was poking around some code they use here in
my new role and found this syntax when dealing with recordsets in Access VBA

rsR.AddNew
rsR("order") = rsM("order")
rsR("sheetname") = rsM("sheetname")
rsR("sheetnumber") = rsM("sheetnumber")
rsR.Update

It is very, ummm, MS Excel in style, but it does work ok and update the
recordset(s) correctly.
However I would have written it like:

With rsR
	.AddNew
      !order = rsM!order
	!sheetname = rsM!sheetname
	!sheetnumber = rsM!sheetnumber
	!Update
End with

Not withstanding then with / end with bit.  What is the advantage (if any)
of one syntax over the other?  Is one method faster?
Actually, Why does the first syntax even work?  I would have though you
would have had to use the ! method, but very clearly I am totally wrong on
that count.

I had not seen code used like that before for MS Access recordsets.  Maybe I
need to get out more?

Your thoughts?

Cheers
Darryl
