Here's an example using the Categories table from the Northwind sample
database ...
Public Sub DoesItExist()
Dim rst As ADODB.Recordset
Dim boolFound As Boolean
Set rst = New ADODB.Recordset
With rst
.ActiveConnection = CurrentProject.Connection
.Open "SELECT Count(*) AS TheCount FROM Categories WHERE
CategoryName = 'Confections'"
boolFound = .Fields("TheCount") <> 0
.Close
End With
If boolFound Then
MsgBox "Found it"
Else
MsgBox "Didn't find it"
End If
End Sub

The spammers and script-kiddies have succeeded in making it impossible for
me to use a real e-mail address in public newsgroups. E-mail replies to
this post will be deleted without being read. Any e-mail claiming to be
from brenreyn at indigo dot ie that is not digitally signed by me with a
GlobalSign digital certificate is a forgery and should be deleted without
being read. Follow-up questions should in general be posted to the
newsgroup, but if you have a good reason to send me e-mail, you'll find
a useable e-mail address at the URL above.
