Count records when RecordSource is a Stored Procedure

[Lauren Quantrell]

I have a stored procedure named mySP that looks basically like this:
Select Field1, Field2
From tblMyTable
Where Field 3 = 'xyz'

What I do is to populate an Access form:
DoCmd.Openform "frmMyFormName"
Forms!myFormName.RecordSource = "mySP"

What I want to do in VBA is to open frmContinuous(a datasheet form) if
mySP returns more than one record or open frmDetail if mySP returns
only one record.

I'm stumped as to how to accomplish this, without running mySP twice:
once to count it and once to use it as a recordsource.
Thanks,
lq

I don't know much about VBA, but if you return the results of the procedure
in an ADO RecordSet object, then you should be able to count the rows on the
client side, and format the data accordingly. You might get a better answer
in an Access newsgroup, though.
