First record of a query...

Hi,
i would like to extract the first record of a data base (in Oracle, or access or sql server) with a query in visual baic 6, but i don't want use counter or similar. How can i do?
thanks in advance

Try this:

Dim dbsDatabase as Database
Dim rstRecordset as Recordset

Set dbsDatabase = OpenDatabase "Full Path Here", False
Set rstRecordset = "Select Query Here"

rstRecordset.MoveFirst

That should place you in the first record of your recordset.

If you want to extract individual fields then just use something like this:

Dim strField0 as string

strField0 = rstRecordset(0)

0 is the first column in the recordset, if you want other columns then just substitute 0 for 1 and so on.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

Rob Brown.
