Why can't I move backward through records?

Question

Visual Basic

In a recordset, the cursor is on the first record. When I click the "Previous Record" button with the rst.MovePrevious command, the error "The operation is not allowed in this context" is thrown. I tried setting rst properties - CursorType = adOpenDynamic and locktype = something like Optimistic, I don't remember exactly, but still the same error

Answer 1

And why did you decide that there should not be an error? If the cursor is on the first record, then the previous record does not exist!
