Count records in a database

[Steve Stunning]

I would like to be able to count how many records are in a "random" database file. Length of each record is about 1000 spaces.

Is there a fast and easy way to count them?

Thanks for reading this.

been too long since I used Random files with Access and all.

Just a thought
FileLen(yourfile)/total recordsize

Add the items into an array with the 1st element in the array being a counter. So line 1 =1 record, line 2 = 2 records, then so on. When finished figure the highest counter. That is your recordcount.
