Question

Total Record Count

Asked by: UrsaMajor

I have an ASP page which displays all the members who have registered for a national reunion. they are sorted in the order that people registered, but I want to display the total number of registrants in the top right of the first page.  

I have tried to follow the record count etc but I am still a little non-plussed.

Grateful for any help


tks

do this

objRs.recordcount which would give you total records fetched by the query

 

by: bugsPosted on 2007-08-15 at 00:07:59ID: 19697609

<%
objRs.recordcount
%>

Where objRs = your recordset object

 

by: UrsaMajorPosted on 2007-08-15 at 01:48:59ID: 19697901

Does it matter that the data comes from an Access database. How do I find out what my recorsetobject is?  When it comes to code and where it goes, I am a complete newbie


tks

@UrsaMajor

No it does not matter which database its coming from. So access is ok.

Secondly to identify your recordset object try and see where you are doing the below line...
set objRecordset=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.recordset")

here objRecordset would be your recordset object....it could be set as anything based on your thinking....

If you could paste the code then i shall help you....

 

by: patingsadagatPosted on 2007-08-15 at 01:57:05ID: 19697934

try this:

Open another recordset
<%
objRs1.open "Select count(*) From yourtable", yourConn
%>

then display
<%
reponse.write(objRs1(0))
objRs1.close
set objRs1=nothing
%>
Where objRs = your recordset object

 

by: bugsPosted on 2007-08-15 at 02:10:38ID: 19697987

@patingsadagat

Can i ask you whats the logic of suggesting to open a new recordset when already one is open and we can get recordcount using the same recordset object method.

Don't you think your suggestion could hamper the performance as well.

rs is your recordset.....so if you do....

response.write rs.recordcount

it should display you the total recordcount....

Please excuse tardiness. But I am in Australia and we are a way behind you folks

Loaded the new code and uploaded it to the server. The following is displayed:

Total Number Of Records : -1
In the same font as the heading?

regards and tks

@UrsaMajor

Recordcount is not supported with the default forward-only cursor. If you open a recordset in the following manner, you will have access to recordcount.... i have revamped the code so use it....you can place the recordcount whereever you want, for timebeing i had added it in the HEADER...

Well Done. Code works excellently. I have two further ingratiating quetions. Can I change the font size to something smaller, and second, can I also change the 'Total Number of Records" to 'total number of Attendees'. The second is in the red code which I understand cannot or should not be edited.
warmest tks

>> Can I change the font size to something smaller and second, can I also change the 'Total Number of Records" to 'total number of Attendees' ?

Yes you can, just manipulate the line below...

<h2><%response.write "Total Number Of Attendees : " & rs.recordcount %></h2>

TRY changing it to....

<h3><%response.write "Total Number Of Attendees : " & rs.recordcount %></h3>
<h4><%response.write "Total Number Of Attendees : " & rs.recordcount %></h4>

Or

<font color="red" face="verdana"><%response.write "Total Number Of Attendees : " & rs.recordcount %></font>
