If you're going to do the .MoveLast, .RecordCount, .MoveFirst, make sure
your resultset is scrollable (ie, not forward-only). This method can be
very inefficient if you have many rows, and you don't plan on using all
of them in your application.

Another approach is to execute a SELECT COUNT(*) FROM TABLE WHERE <where
clause>, to get the record count.
