Hi. I would like to query a database, given several where clauses to refine
my search, and return the value of one single field in the database.
eg: I have a table that lists teachers. Their first name, last name, age,
unique teacher number, etc is in the file.
I want to return the unique teacher number, for example, of the teacher
whose first name is Jane and last name is Doe.
How does one do this?

Thank you.
Can I do that without making a new RecordSet variable? Storing the entire
recordset just to return one integer seems wasteful.
Ideally I want something like this:
Dim driverID as integer
driverID = 'Query here which returns the driverID for one record from
database'

Yes you can make a function that will search your recordset and return the
id
Private function ReturnId(firstn ame as string,lastname as string) as long
dim rst as adodb.recordset
set rst = new adodb.recordset
with rst
.open "select teacherid from tblteachers where firstname = '" &
firstname "' and lastname = '" & lastname & "'", db, adOpenDynamic,
adLockReadOnly
if not .eof and not .bof then
.movefirst
returnid = .fields("teache rid").value
else
returid = 0 'no teacherid found
end if
.close
end with
set rst = nothing
end function
(PS function not tested)

Then off course you have to call the function
Dim driverID as long
driverID = ReturnId("Jane" ,"Doe")

But this will return the entire database into the recordset, and I
understand it, and then put the userID into returnID. That is not very
scallable if the database is very large.

Like:
db.execute(DELE TE from SomeTable Where someThing = SomeOtherThing. ...
I think .execute() just covers Action Queries to Access does it not? I'll
check MSDN, which I don't own, at school tomorrow.
I just have student edition of VB, which has no MSDN.

John has the right approach.
The Recorset Query will only return the data requested - not the entire
database. More than likely the recordset will only contain 1 record
consisting of 1 field (*teacherID*). A Recordset is not the same as a
Database. A Recordset is a Table. The Query designates the amount and type
of data returned/referenced in that table.

Mike
