Question

I have a query that I want to execute against a table. With the results I want to do something. In my head the pseudo code is:

var q = "select * from table where some condition";
var results = db.getResults(q);
foreach (row r in results )
    do something with result

How would I so something similar with vba?

DAO is native to Access and by far the best for general use. ADO has its place, but it is unlikely that this is it.

 Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
 Dim db As Database
 Dim strSQL as String

 Set db=CurrentDB

 strSQL = "select * from table where some condition"

 Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL)

 Do While Not rs.EOF

    rs.Edit
    rs!SomeField = "Abc"
    rs!OtherField = 2
    rs!ADate = Date()
    rs.Update

    rs.MoveNext
Loop
