Not exactly the same.

For example, you could delete Record with RecID 3.

What will happens if you try

        tbl.RecID = 3
?

At least its current record is not changed. But you have no easy way IF you
was moved to new record or now. This did GoTo

    if tblGoTo(3) 

Is TRUE only if record 3 really exists, and you was moved to that record.
Otherwise FALSE
