DAO recordset

[Guest]

I opened a DAO recordset with the following rows. Althought the opened query
contains 2 records, the opened recordset'a recordcount is 1
(booked3.RecordCount = 1). This is a false value. But, after running the last
row (getrows), the booked3.recordcount = 2.

Why the booked3.recordcount = 1 after I opened the recordset?

" Set booked3 = dbs.OpenRecordset("SELECT Booked.* FROM Booked WHERE
(((Booked.[Cost Type])=70) AND ((Booked.[Cost Center])=11))", dbOpenSnapshot)
booked3.MoveFirst
bookeddb = booked3.RecordCount
bookt = booked3.GetRows(bookeddb)"

Thanks, Viktor

Because in VBA, Access doesn't know how many records there are until it has
found the last record. In fact, if you just open the recordset without
doing a MoveFirst, it won't even return a count of 1.
