How to speed up database access

Here is a trick to loop through a recordset faster.  Often when looping through a recordset people will use the following code:

Do while not records.eof
    combo1.additem records![Full Name]
    records.movenext
Loop

The problem is that everytime the database moves to the next record it must make a check to see if it has reached the end of the file. This slows the looping down a great deal. When moving or searching throuch a large record set this can make a major difference.  Here is a better way to do it.

records.movelast
lngRecCount=records.RecordCount
records.movefirst

For lngCounter=1 to lngRecCount
    combo1.additem records![Full Name]
    records.movenext
Next lngCounter

You should see about a 33% speed increase.
