Re: RecordCount error

Hi,

Set cursorType to adOpenStatic and see if that helps. RecordCount returns -1
if the cursorType does not support it.

rsPatient.cursorType = adOpenStatic

Hi Richard,

Thats what my the problem is that the RecordCount is always showing a
value
of -1 even though there are more records returned. I read somewheer on
Google
that its a known issue in VB that sometimes RecordCount will not retun
the
correct value. It was mentioned to use the code below to get around this
error, so i used the code below:
rsRecCount = 0
rsPatient.MoveLast --- ERROR IS SHOWN TO BE IN THIS LINE

rsRecCount = rsPatient.RecordCount
If rsRecCount = 0 Then
MsgBox ("This patient has not been yet added to the database")
End IF

Thanks

Hi,

Since you are not enumerating the recordset, there is no need to move the
cursor backwards. The code should work if you delete the statement:

rsPatient.MoveLast

If you need to move the cursor back and forth, then you need to set the
cursorType property to allow this.

rsPatient.CursorType = adOpenStatic

When you retrieve the RecordCount property, the cursor is moved to the
end.

Hi,

I have the following function. I need to use RecordCount of the
RecordSet
that is returned when the query is run, but I get the error : "Rowset
does
not support fetching backward. "


Private Function CheckInDatabase(dteBirthDate As Date, arrPatientName()
As
String)

Dim rsRecCount As Integer ' For counting records in a record set
Dim cn As ADODB.Connection
Set cn = New ADODB.Connection
cn.ConnectionString = "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Persist Security
Info=False;User ID=UID;Password=PWD;Initial Catalog=DB;Data Source=IP"
cn.Open

MSHFlexGrid1.Clear

Dim rsPatient As ADODB.Recordset
Set rsPatient = New ADODB.Recordset

rsPatient.Open "Select patient_first,patient_last,patient_dob from
patient WHERE patient_dob ='" & dteBirthDate & "' AND ( (
patient_first
= '" & LTrim$(arrPatientName(0)) & "' AND patient_last = '" &
LTrim$(arrPatientName(1)) & "') or (patient_last = '" &
LTrim$(arrPatientName(0)) & "' and patient_first= '" &
LTrim$(arrPatientName(1)) & "'))", cn
Set MSHFlexGrid1.DataSource = rsPatient

rsRecCount = 0
rsPatient.MoveLast --- ERROR IS SHOWN TO BE IN THIS LINE

rsRecCount = rsPatient.RecordCount
If rsRecCount = 0 Then
MsgBox ("This patient has not been yet added to the patient
table
in
the database")
End If

cn.Close

End Function
