Creating sub-recordsets
 

How do I create a recordset from another?

e.g.
sSQL1="SELECT * FROM ThisTable"
rs1.open sSQL1,conn

sSQL2="Select * from (rs1?) WHERE name='fred' "
rs2.open sSQL2,conn

TIA

Why don't you just run the second statement to begin with?

The first statement takes about 5 secs to execute. Didn't make myself v
clear - the 1st statement is full of conditions, to a Search database. The
second is to filter and order search results into various categories without
having to make the main trip again.

Use the recordset's Filter property.

Thanks Bob. I do avoid * where poss since joining this NG - almost as bad as
top (or bottom) posting! However, the article seems to suggest that if you
want all fields, it is better to explicitly name the lot. Is that right?
Does everyone do that?

"seems to suggest"? I thought it was worded strongly enough that it would do
more than "seem to suggest" ,,, :-)

> Is that right?

Yes

> Does everyone do that?

Everyone who :
a) knows the pitfalls of selstar
b) is not lazy
c) wants to reduce network traffic and the time connected to the database,
resulting in better performance and resource utilization
