finding the last row populated in an excel object
The ability to use the RecordCount property is dependent on the cursor
type and the provider.

Eli -
You may be able to access the ADO recordset recordcount by
using the client as the cursor location. Before opening
your existing recordset, insert the following:
rst.CursorLocation = adUseClient
rst.Open ...
This method may be slower than using the default server-
side cursor but should allow access to the recordcount.
I would suggest using both client-side cursor recordcount
and Range("A4").End(xlDown).Row (or the method supplied by
Bob Phillips) to ensure that all the rows were copied from
the recordset.

Good man. 1 down, 5,732 to go (or is that 65535?).

Bob,
It's my mission to remove code such as Range("A65536")
One convert at a time????
Okay, it makes sense, so you've got my vote.
Now all I have to do is remember to use it.
It's difficult to break old habits, but I'll try.

<VBG
It should be (IMO)
Range("A"&Rows.Count)
it may vary one day, it certainly hasn't always been
65536.

eli,
range("a65536").End(xlUp).Row
Will give you the row number of the very last row
with data in column
"A".
range("a4").End(xlDown).Row
Will give you the last row that's not blank
starting at "A4"
Just add 1 to either of the above.

...
I have a VB application that I am using to create
a series of excel
reports. I am using excel's copy from recordset to
transfer an
adodb.recordset to my excel object starting in cell
A4. The problem I
need
to resolve is I need to find the highest row
populated in the excel
object.
For whatever reason I am unable to access the
adodb.recordset's
.recordcount
property. I need to add text at the bottom of the
excel so I want to
be
able to see that the highest populated row is 255
now I can assign a
text
value to cell A256. How do I identify the maximum
row populated in
column
a
considering that data in column A will not begin
untill cell A4. Any
help
will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
