Ok, I don't know anything about tblGoTo(n) as I come in with 2.3, but I was
mainly reacting to this with .CurrentRecID as a property with just 7 more
characters then now doing the same thing.

I agree though as a fuction RecordExistsGoTO(recid) could be useful as
mostly when checking for an exist you also what to goto that record BUT not
always, so both functions are needed. Or what about 

.RecordExists(recid as Long, Optional GoTo as Boolean = False) as Boolean

It wont break current code but gives you option to amend/optimize it? Of
course GoTo would only come into play IF the Record exists.
