Gilbert T. Gutierrez, Jr. <%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"%> Record Count <% set conn=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") conn.Provider="Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" conn.Open(Server.Mappath("XXXX.mdb")) conn.CursorLocation = 3 set rs=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.recordset") sql="SELECT * FROM admin" rs.Open sql,conn i=rs.RecordCount response.write("The number of records is: " & i) rs.Close conn.Close %> --- [ This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Phoenix Internet ] [ Phoenix Internet http://www.phoenixinternet.net ] --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
