AbsolutePage, PageCount, and PageSize Properties Example

This example uses the AbsolutePage, PageCount, and PageSize properties to display names and hire dates from the Employee table five records at a time.

Public Sub AbsolutePageX()
   
   Dim rstEmployees As ADODB.Recordset
   Dim strCnn As String
   Dim strMessage As String
   Dim intPage As Integer
   Dim intPageCount As Integer
   Dim intRecord As Integer

   ' Open a recordset using a client cursor
   ' for the employee table.
   strCnn = "Provider=sqloledb;" & _
      "Data Source=srv;Initial Catalog=pubs;User Id=sa;Password=; "
   Set rstEmployees = New ADODB.Recordset
   ' Use client cursor to enable AbsolutePosition property.
   rstEmployees.CursorLocation = adUseClient
   rstEmployees.Open "employee", strCnn, , , adCmdTable
   
   ' Display names and hire dates, five records
   ' at a time.
   rstEmployees.PageSize = 5
   intPageCount = rstEmployees.PageCount
   For intPage = 1 To intPageCount
      rstEmployees.AbsolutePage = intPage
      strMessage = ""
      For intRecord = 1 To rstEmployees.PageSize
         strMessage = strMessage & _
            rstEmployees!fname & " " & _ 
            rstEmployees!lname & " " & _ 
            rstEmployees!hire_date & vbCr
         rstEmployees.MoveNext
         If rstEmployees.EOF Then Exit For
      Next intRecord
      MsgBox strMessage
   Next intPage
   rstEmployees.Close
