NOTES
———
Be careful with the use of CurrentDb.TableDefs(“TABLENAME”).RecordCount option. It’s only available to the system when it is using a certain cursorType in your calls to the database. The default cursorType is Forward-Only and will not show the RecordCount.

The best option is to open a record set:
     Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset (“6050c__DrawingWinners”)
Then check if it has any records:�
     If rst.RecordCount = 0 Then
     ‘ the recordset is empty
     rowcnt = 0
    Else
Then quickly move through the records in the table:�
     rst.MoveLast
     rst.MoveFirst
     rowcnt = rst.RecordCount
    End If
Now you can use the rowcnt variable where you want to display the record count.

EXAMPLES:
———
Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset (“6050c__DrawingWinners”)
If rst.RecordCount = 0 Then
 ‘ the recordset is empty
 rowcnt = 0
Else
 rst.MoveLast
 rst.MoveFirst
 rowcnt = rst.RecordCount
End If

StatusBox.Value = StatusBox.Value & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & “Complete: ” & rowcnt & ” winners drawn.”
