What's wrong with:

(changed RecordExists to be a boolean, and not selecting the entire record
anymore, just one field - you should change this to be the fields you
actually need)

=========
Dim strSQL
Dim blnRecordExists

blnRecordExists = False
strSQL = "SELECT DeliverableID FROM tbl_deliverables WHERE record_id = 5 AND
deliverable_id = 2"

Set objRS = objConn.Execute(strSQL0
If not objRS.EOF then
    blnRecordExists = True
End If
============

Cheers
Ken

: I'm trying to check the DB for a valid record.
:
: How I'm handling it now is by spinning through the table and doing record
id
: AND comparisons then setting a record exists flag to true.
:
: I think I have seen better code for this in the past.
:
: Can I just attempt to access the record directly and if the action
succeeds
: set the flag to true?
: My problem is I don't know what to replace EXISTS with.
