[dba-VB] Just a Christmas quickie Using Not Instead of = False

Hi Paul
Well I'll wait to be corrected but I reckon they're simply two syntactically
different ways of saying the same thing. They'd surely compile into the same
code. So it just comes down to preference of style and readability, i.e.
totally subjective

To all,

I use a lot of recordsets, and to detect they actually contain something I
have always used the following:

If myrecordset.bof=false and myrecordset.eof=false then
    do my stuff here
Else
    msgbox "empty"
End If

However my project manager prefers:
 If not myrecordset.bof and not myrecordset.eof then
    do my stuff here
Else
    msgbox "empty"
End If

Is there actually a prefered way, or is one quicker than the other, or is
there an even better way to do this ?

Thanks in advance for any comments, and a very merry christmas & happy new
year to everyone.
