      [RecordSource]   :Authors
   
      Label(Label1)
      [DataSource]     :Data1
      [DataField]      :Author

4. Add the following code to the CommandButton's Click event:

      Private Sub Command1_Click()
   
       Data1.Recordset.Index = "PrimaryKey"
       Data1.Recordset.Seek "=", 0     'so that NoMatch=True
       Print Data1.Recordset.NoMatch
   
      End Sub

5. Press the F5 key to execute code, and note that the "No Current Record"
   error is returned on the Seek method.
