Hello All,<br />
<br />
I am using ADO and VB 6. I am running a query to return all the records in a table:<br />
<br />
Select * from Products<br />
<br />
I have set the .CursorLocation = adServer so that the results do not consume the local machines memory.<br />
<br />
I really need to know how many records are in the table. &nbsp;The .recordCount property returns -1 (since it is a server side query). I was thinking there must be a sql query I could run to determine how many records are in the table.<br />
<br />
Like for example &quot;SELECT COUNT(??) of Products&quot; or something similiar where &quot;??&quot; is a field name or something. &nbsp;Any ideas?<br />
<br />
I guess bottom line is there a SQL query that will return the number of records in the table?<br />

Recordcount of a Server side query

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
