VB6 ADO Recordset Limit

Question

Please don't laugh because I'm asking a VB6 question? I have to do some maintenance work. Does anyone know what the maximum number of rows can be returned to a VB6 ADO Recordset? If there is a limit, is there a preferred method for getting around it?

Answer 1

There is no limit (see link for documentation), but you can provide one if you want. There should be a MaxRecords property that you can set. You have to set it before you open the recordset.

Answer 2

The RecordCount property is a (signed) Long (as is the MaxRecords) so it won't be able to hold more than 2,147,483,647 rows
