In this Microsoft Access tutorial, I will show you how to determine if there are records in a table or query before performing actions like opening a form or report. We will explore using DCount and DLookup functions, handling errors, and optimizing efficiency with advanced developer techniques. Thanks to moderator Kevin Robertson for the idea for this video, and his initial function.
