How do I test if a recordSet is empty? isNull?

Question

How can you test if a record set is empty?

        Dim temp_rst1 As Recordset
        Dim temp_rst2 As Recordset

        Set temp_rst1 = db.OpenRecordset(\"         


        

Answer 1

I would check the "End of File" flag:

If temp_rst1.EOF Or temp_rst2.EOF Then MsgBox "null"

Answer 2

If Not temp_rst1 Is Nothing Then ...

Answer 3

A simple way is to write it:

Dim rs As Object
Set rs = Me.Recordset.Clone
If Me.Recordset.RecordCount = 0 then 'checks for number of records
   msgbox "There is no records" 
End if

Answer 4

If temp_rst1.BOF and temp_rst1.EOF then the recordset is empty. This will always be true for an empty recordset, linked or local.

Answer 5

RecordCount is what you want to use.

If Not temp_rst1.RecordCount > 0 ...
