Field.OriginalValue property (DAO)

Applies to: Access 2013, Office 2013

Syntax

expression .OriginalValue

expression A variable that represents a Field object.

Remarks

During an optimistic batch update, a collision may occur where a second client modifies the same field and record in between the time the first client retrieves the data and the first client's update attempt. The OriginalValue property contains the value of the field at the time the last batch Update began. If this value does not match the value actually in the database when the batch Update attempts to write to the database, a collision occurs. When this happens, the new value in the database will be accessible through the VisibleValue property.
