INF: Snapshot and Underlying Table Updated Until Snapshot FullArticle ID: Q103402
SUMMARY
A snapshot, along with its underlying table, continues to update until the snapshot is completely filled with data. The link to the snapshot's underlying table is continued until you move to the end of the snapshot's recordset. When you first create a snapshot recordset, memory is allocated to store data. In order to optimize memory, Microsoft Access does not load all the table's records at once, meaning that you have only a partial recordset in memory. When you move to the end of the snapshot, the link is then cut from the live table. This article assumes that you are familiar with Visual Basic for Applications and with creating Microsoft Access applications using the programming tools provided with Microsoft Access. For more information about Visual Basic for Applications, please refer to the "Building Applications" manual. NOTE: Visual Basic for Applications (used in Microsoft Access for Windows 95, version 7.0) is called Access Basic in version 2.0. MORE INFORMATION
The second function, NoUdate(), also creates a snapshot of a table, moves to the end of the snapshot, adds a new record to the table, and then prints the snapshot. In this example, the snapshot does not include the new record since the MoveLast command is executed before the new record is added. Function Udate()
Function NoUdate()
Note that because the snapshot was filled (MoveLast was executed) before the new record was added, the snapshot does not contain the new record added to the Cat table. |
