How to retrieve record value from Recordset ?

[Loras]

Hello all,
I'm a newbie in Access vba, so please help...
I have some vba code to count records, but i also need retrieve value from query SELECT SUM (......). There will be only one record (Total SUM)
and cannot find how I can do it..

Here is my vba to count records (maybe it should look similarly..) :

SQLStmt = "SELECT * FROM TEMP_backup;"
Set db = CurrentDb
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(SQLStmt)
If Not rs.EOF Then
rs.MoveLast
strOrder = rs.RecordCount ' (place records quantity in "strOrder")
End If

Thanks.

I don't understand where or what your query SELECT SUM (......) is so I need more information.

Try instead :

strOrder = Format(DCount("*","TEMP_backup"),"Standard")

Format is your choice but I noticed that the value was returned to a string variable.
This code replaces all of your other code.
