Returns the number of records accessed in a Recordset object, or the total number of records in a table-type Recordset or TableDef object.
Syntax
LONGGetRecordCount(VOID);
Remarks
Use the RecordCount property to find out how many records in a Recordset or TableDef object have been accessed. The RecordCount property doesn't indicate how many records are contained in a dynaset-, snapshot-, or forward-only–type Recordset object until all records have been accessed. Once the last record has been accessed, the RecordCount property indicates the total number of undeleted records in the Recordset or TableDef object. To force the last record to be accessed, use the MoveLast method on the Recordset object. You can also use an SQL Count function to determine the approximate number of records your query will return.
Note Using the MoveLast method to populate a newly opened Recordset negatively impacts performance. Unless it is necessary to have an accurate record count as soon as you open a Recordset, it's better to wait until you populate the Recordset with other portions of code before checking the RecordCount property.
