Hi,
I sent in an issue a couple of days ago regarding the fact that WHATEVER cursor type I used in a parameterised command query, I kept getting a record count = -1. I know this is indicative of an incorrect cursor type. I have tried ALL the possible cursort types and still get the same result for record count.

As a side issue, I tried the same this i.e. returning records from SQL Server using a DE, and the recordcount works fine. This setup is exactly the same as my parameterised queries apart from using a DE, i.e. both implement classes to return an ADODB.Recordset.

This is very frustrating. Has anyone came across this before or is able to take a bit of time to try to recreate? I will be more than happy to provide source.

Previous email below

Hi,
I had a problem last week with a component returning a recordset to a Vis InterDev page, and not having all the recordset properties exposed. I emailed and got a response pointing to the cursortype of the returned recordset ( thanks clunietp ). However when I change the cursortype in the component ( to adopendynamic or anything else ) it fails to return the correct recordcount ( returns -1 pointing STILL to cursortype). When I check the cursot type it is set to 0, which is correct.

Is the code below the most effective method of setting the cursor type? I cannot use the recordset.open syntax as this is a parameterized command query.

Can somebody point me in the right direction?

Set lrs_getOpenCalls = New ADODB.Recordset
lrs_getOpenCalls.CursorType = adOpenDynamic
Set lrs_getOpenCalls = comm_getOpenCalls.Execute
MsgBox lrs_getOpenCalls.RecordCount
Set get_Open_Calls = lrs_getOpenCalls







Thanks in advance.

i **Think** it also has to do with the type of locking you use, eg: -

optimistic locking seems to give a recordcount with dynamic and static cursors, but not with forward only...

JimBob,
tried all locking types, same result. Thanks for the input though.

your database is SQL server? what version?

try these properties, I KNOW these work for me (SQL 7)

cursorlocation = Client
cursortype = static


these ALWAYS work when retrieving the recordcount from SQL Server (and MS Access too)....

if not, lets see your code...
