Description
The Bookmark property is available only through recordsets that support bookmarks. Bookmarks are used to record the position of the current record and later to set the current record back to the specified bookmark.
Bookmarks can be used interchangeably within Recordset objects that are clones of each other, but not with other Recordset objects, even if they were created from the same source.
The return value of the Bookmark property is not readable and shouldn’t be used in comparisons because two bookmarks of the same record may not be the same.
Note
Not all recordsets support the Bookmark property.
