Filter and RecordCount Properties Example
This example uses the Filter property to open a new Recordset based on a specified condition applied to an existing Recordset. It uses the RecordCount property to show the number of records in the two Recordsets. The FilterField function is required for this procedure to run.
Public Sub FilterX() Dim rstPublishers As ADODB.Recordset Dim rstPublishersCountry As ADODB.Recordset Dim strCnn As String Dim intPublisherCount As Integer Dim strCountry As String Dim strMessage As String ' Open recordset with data from Publishers table. strCnn = "driver={SQL Server};server=srv;" & _ "uid=sa;pwd=;database=pubs" Set rstPublishers = New ADODB.Recordset rstPublishers.CursorType = adOpenStatic rstPublishers.Open "publishers", strCnn, , , adCmdTable ' Populate the Recordset. intPublisherCount = rstPublishers.RecordCount ' Get user input. strCountry = Trim(InputBox( _ "Enter a country to filter on:")) If strCountry <> "" Then ' Open a filtered Recordset object. Set rstPublishersCountry = _ FilterField(rstPublishers, "Country", strCountry) If rstPublishersCountry.RecordCount = 0 Then MsgBox "No publishers from that country." Else ' Print number of records for the original ' Recordset object and the filtered Recordset ' object. strMessage = "Orders in original recordset: " & _ vbCr & intPublisherCount & vbCr & _ "Orders in filtered recordset (Country = '" & _ strCountry & "'): " & vbCr & _ rstPublishersCountry.RecordCount MsgBox strMessage End If rstPublishersCountry.Close End If End Sub Public Function FilterField(rstTemp As ADODB.Recordset, _ strField As String, strFilter As String) As ADODB.Recordset ' Set a filter on the specified Recordset object and then ' open a new Recordset object. rstTemp.Filter = strField & " = '" & strFilter & "'" Set FilterField = rstTemp End FunctionNote When you know the data you want to select, it's usually more efficient to open a Recordset with an SQL statement. This example shows how you can create just one Recordset and obtain records from a particular country.
Public Sub FilterX2() Dim rstPublishers As ADODB.Recordset Dim strCnn As String ' Open recordset with data from Publishers table. strCnn = "driver={SQL Server};server=srv;" & _ "uid=sa;pwd=;database=pubs" Set rstPublishers = New ADODB.Recordset rstPublishers.CursorType = adOpenStatic rstPublishers.Open "SELECT * FROM publishers " & _ "WHERE Country = 'USA'", strCnn, , , adCmdText ' Print current data in recordset. rstPublishers.MoveFirst Do While Not rstPublishers.EOF Debug.Print rstPublishers!pub_name & ", " & _ rstPublishers!country rstPublishers.MoveNext Loop rstPublishers.Close End Sub
