addrecordtoempty ms access dataset

i can do all the basic ops to an ms access table that has records in it
through a vc7.0 gui interface (add, delete, save etc).
adding a record to such a table basicaly is

Code:

---

recordsetptr->MoveLast();
recordsetptr->AddNew(AddRecord);
loop thru rec fields
  change values
  recordsetptr-Update(.,.);

---

running throug the above step in different steps all failed when
the table was empty to start with. would appreciate insight
on how to get that first record in.

thanks

resolved - ultimately found ms access table was misbehaving.
deleted it and recreated and everything worked fine.
