CancelUpdate Method

           

Cancels any pending updates for a Recordset object.

Syntax

recordset.CancelUpdate type

The CancelUpdate method syntax has these parts.

Part	Description
recordset	An object variable that represents the Recordset object for which you are canceling pending updates.
type	Optional. A constant indicating the type of update, as specified in Settings.

Settings

You can use the following values for the type argument only if batch updating is enabled.

Constant	Description
dbUpdateRegular	Default. Cancels pending changes that aren’t cached.
dbUpdateBatch	Cancels pending changes in the update cache.

Remarks

You can use the CancelUpdate method to cancel any pending updates resulting from an Edit or AddNew operation. For example, if a user invokes the Edit or AddNew method and hasn't yet invoked the Update method, CancelUpdate cancels any changes made after Edit or AddNew was invoked.

Check the EditMode property of the Recordset to determine if there is a pending operation that can be canceled.

Note Using the CancelUpdate method has the same effect as moving to another record without using the Update method, except that the current record doesn't change, and various properties, such as BOF and EOF, aren't updated.
