This is driving me nuts. I have an access VBA form where I want to allow users to type a document number into a box in order to jump directly to that record.
The underlying table as a field "DocNum", and the number is always sequential. I want the searchbox to display the current Doc Number the user is on, if they type in a different number and hit enter, it should either jump to that record if it exists, or if it doesn't exist, stay on the current record.
I'm trying to accomplish thisby having a hidden textbox bound to "DocNum", and an unbound visible box on top of it. On Form_Current() the unbound box is made to match the underlying field. After, update I run the following code to perform the search.
Private Sub txt_DocNumSearch_AfterUpdate()
Dim rs As Object
Set rs = Me.RecordsetClone
With rs
rs.FindFirst "[DocNum] = " & Str(Me![txt_DocNumSearch])
If rs.NoMatch Then
MsgBox "Record not found."
GoTo Cleanup
Else
Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark
Exit Sub
End If
End With
Cleanup:
rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing
Set dbs = Nothing
End Sub
What's driving me insane is that even when it doesn't find a match.... it skips to the next record anyway. No matter what I do... move last, trying to bookmark before I even search, etc... I can't get it to not jump forward. What am I missing?

Try simplifying it:
Private Sub txt_DocNumSearch_AfterUpdate()
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Set rs = Me.RecordsetClone
With rs
.FindFirst "[DocNum] = " & Str(Me![txt_DocNumSearch])
If .NoMatch Then
MsgBox "Record not found."
Else
Me.Bookmark = .Bookmark
End If
.Close
End With
End Sub
