Count The Rows In A Table Before Selecting Those Rows

Count The Rows In A Table Before Selecting Those Rows

This technique easily helps you avoid an Object not Set error, and savestime by not sending unnecessary queries:

 Sub Form1_Load ()	Dim db As database	Dim ds As snapshot	Dim iNum As Integer	Set db = OpenDatabase("c:vbiblio.mdb")	Set ds = db.CreateSnapshot("Select Count (*) _		from Authors Where AU_ID > 10")	iNum = ds(0)MsgBox "The number is " + Str$(iNum)End Sub
