MaxRecords Property

See Also                  Applies To

You can use the MaxRecords property to determine or specify the maximum number of records that will be returned by:

• A query that returns data from an ODBC database in an Microsoft Access database (.mdb).
  
  
• A view that returns data from a SQL database in an Access project (.adp).

Setting

The MaxRecords property setting is a Long Integer value representing the number of records that will be returned.

In an Microsoft Access database, you can set this property by using the query's property sheet or Visual Basic.

When you set this property in Visual Basic you use the ADO MaxRecords property.

Remarks

Records are returned in the order specified by the query's ORDER BY clause.

You can use the MaxRecords property in situations where limited system resources might prohibit a large number of returned records.
