Fill with background color

BTW, when running "CopyFromRecordset" within VBA codes, is there any way to get known how many records have been retrieved?

>when running "CopyFromRecordset" within VBA codes, is there any way to get known how many records have been retrieved?

only from checking the recordset property (rowcount) after the action;

what should be the syntax of rowcount? Thanks

recordset.recordcount:

Hi,
I'm retrieving records from AS 400, using these

    Dim cn As ADODB.Connection
    Dim strCNT As String, strSQL As String, strSQL2 As String, strSQL3 As String, strSQL4 As String, strSQL5 As String, strSQL6 As String
    Dim cnt As Integer, rw As Integer
    Dim rs4 As ADODB.Recordset
    Dim rs5 As ADODB.Recordset
    Dim rs6 As ADODB.Recordset
    
    strCNT = IS5ConnectionString()
    Set cn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
    cn.ConnectionTimeout = SQL_TIMEOUT
    cn.Open strCNT
    
    strSQL4 = "SELECT SAAB,SAAN,SAAS,SAAPP,SABRNM,c.scact,SAPOD,SAPBR,SAPSQ,SAVFR,SADRF,SATCD,SACCY,SAAMA FROM " & HOST_LIB_EQ & "." & TBL_FM & " a," & HOST_LIB_EQ & "." & "scpf c where length(ltrim(rtrim(cast(SAPOD as char(12)))))=7 and substring(ltrim(rtrim(cast(SAPOD as char(12)))),2,6)='150130' and ltrim(rtrim(SACCY))='USD' and ltrim(rtrim(a.saan))=ltrim(rtrim(c.scan)) and ltrim(rtrim(a.saas))=ltrim(rtrim(c.scas)) and ltrim(rtrim(SAPBR))='@@AR'"
    
    Set rs4 = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
    rs4.Open strSQL4, cn, adOpenForwardOnly, adLockReadOnly, adCmdText
    
    Worksheets("EQ System Gen FX").Cells.ClearFormats
    Worksheets("EQ System Gen FX").Cells(2, 1).Value = "Overnight Position Revaluation"
    Worksheets("EQ System Gen FX").Range("A5").CopyFromRecordset rs4
    cnt = rs4.RecordCount
...

Select allOpen in new window

I don't know why cnt in above does return "-1", while I can see there are 18 records retrieved already.

I guess this is due to:
adOpenForwardOnly

which may have the effect of not filling that property
I don't see any other solution ...

Thanks. One last thing, what to assign to the cell if I expect to bracket the amount, when its value is negative?

Many thanks. I put these

    Range("N" & (11 + cnt + cnt2)).NumberFormat = "#.##0;(-#.##0)"
    Range("N" & (11 + cnt + cnt2)).Formula = "=Sum(N" & (11 + cnt) & ":N" & (10 + cnt + cnt2) & ")"
...

Select allOpen in new window

but it is showing

(-9278769.0)

which is confusing, right?
