Absolutely, but put the rst.MoveNext AFTER the If statement or else you'll end up with it looping forever on the first record that doesn't make it inside the If statement, like it is doing now.
Right now, you are basically saying, "Move to the next record in the recordset only if condition is true," resulting in an infinite loop.
