Currentdb.Openrecordset - unable to get recordcount

Zone: Access Coding/Macros

Tags: Microsoft, MS Access, Currentdb

Hello All: This should be simple but is elusive for me. Ultimately I need the record count from a sql statement, so I don't the actual recordset; merely a count or records that satify teh qry would suffice. But if I have to use a recordset, this is what I am using:

Dim rsCheck As New ADODB.Recordset
Set rsCheck = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("select 1 from data where account = " & CheckAcctNum & " and office = " & CheckOfficeNum)
rsCheck.MoveLast
CheckOffAcctCount = rsCheck.RecordCount
rsCheck.Close

When I qry CheckOffAcctCount in the debugger it's always zero.

The db has an open connection. What gives???

if you really only need the count:

                       
                                Dim rsCheck As New ADODB.Recordset
Set rsCheck = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("select count(*) c from data where account = " & CheckAcctNum & " and office = " & CheckOfficeNum)
                    CheckOffAcctCount = rsCheck.fields("c").value
                    rsCheck.Close

Just tried it and it still returns a zero.

{wild guess}
If account and office are text values, and not numeric, then you'll need to surround teh values you pass to them with singe quote marks.

Set rsCheck = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("select 1 from data where account = '" & CheckAcctNum & "' and office = '" & CheckOfficeNum & "'")

05.07.2008 at 08:56AM PDT, ID: 21517733

StacyD:

They are both numeric. I tried it anyway and I still get a 0.

then you must be checking wrongly, using the wrong numbers, checking the wrong table, or the wrong database...

05.07.2008 at 10:23AM PDT, ID: 21518496

StacyD:

Nope! I may be using the currentdb wrong, because I changed rsCheck to open on it's own and it gave me the count expected [see below].
SQLString = "select * from data where account = " & CheckAcctNum & " and office = " & CheckOfficeNum
rsCheck.Open SQLString, con, adOpenKeyset, adLockReadOnly
rsCheck.MoveLast
rsCheck.MoveFirst
CheckOffAcctCount = rsCheck.RecordCount
rsCheck.Close

I'm still curious why the currentdb didn't work for me. Is there something special about the connection I should know/use?

>Dim rsCheck As New ADODB.Recordset
This uses ADO

>Set rsCheck = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("select 1 from data where account = " & CheckAcctNum & " and office = " & CheckOfficeNum)
This uses DAO, as CurrentDb is a DAO.Database object
This line will error, as you can't assign a DAO method to an ADO object.

StacyD:

ohhhh. You get the points. Good catch. I guess it didn't err b/c I resumed next. BTW - do you know if I could use the current db at all?

05.07.2008 at 12:43PM PDT, ID: 21519696

StacyD:

Split the points because the count suggestion was creative. Thanx!

Dim db as DAO.Database
Set db = CurrentDb

Dim rs as DAO.Recordset 'If you are referencing both DAO and ADO, then you have to prefix appropriately. Fun stuff.
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("SELECT blah blah blah")
