So what is the difference? I can't see that... Unless you are talking about
the field as the whole table collection of RecID's? I don't know how it's
done in RB but in VB I would do

Dim fld as Vfield

Set fld = tbl.Field("RecId")

var = fld.FindValue(...)

However, if you already know the RecID (which I understood it as before) I
don't see any point with this overhead if you just want to get that record.

Tbl.Field("RecID).Value = var

Would set the record pointed to that record, then any other fieled read
would be from that record. If it's not clear to you, maybe you should post a
snippet of meaningful code that tries to do something and it would be better
understood what you are after.
