Recordset.EditMode Property (DAO)

Returns a value that indicates the state of editing for the current record.

Syntax

expression .EditMode

expression A variable that represents a Recordset object.

Remarks

The return value is a Long that indicates the state of editing. The value can be one of the EditModeEnum constants.

The EditMode property is useful when an editing process is interrupted, for example, by an error during validation. You can use the value of the EditMode property to determine whether you should use the Update or CancelUpdate method.

You can also check to see if the LockEdits property setting is True and the EditMode property setting is dbEditInProgress to determine whether the current page is locked.
