ADO Bookmark Property

The Bookmark property specifies a bookmark. The bookmark saves the position of the current record.

To save the bookmark for the current record, assign the value of the Bookmark property to a variable. To return to the "bookmarked" record, set the Bookmark property to the value of that variable.

Note: The Bookmark property is available only in Recordset objects that support bookmarks.
