Use the PageCount property to determine how many pages of data are in the Recordset object. Pages are groups of records whose size equals the PageSize property setting. Even if the last page is incomplete because there are fewer records than the PageSize value, it counts as an additional page in the PageCount value. If the Recordset object does not support this property, PageCount will be -1 to indicate that the PageCount is indeterminable.
Use the PageSize property to determine how many records make up a logical page of data. Establishing a page size allows you to use the AbsolutePage property to move to the first record of a particular page. This is useful in Web-server scenarios when you want to allow the user to page through data, viewing a certain number of records at a time.
This property can be set at any time, and its value will be used for calculating the location of the first record of a particular page.
Use the AbsolutePage property to identify the page number on which the current record is located. Again, the provider must support the appropriate functionality for this property to be available.
AbsolutePage is 1-based and equals 1 when the current record is the first record in the Recordset. Set this property to move to the first record of a particular page. Obtain the total number of pages from the PageCount property.
