How to check the recordcount

1) If I check recordcount without move rst to last position I get wrong number of recordcount.

Code:

---

rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(strSQL)

msgbox nz(rst.RecordCount, 0)

---

2) If I move rst to last position, number of recordcount is correct, but! If there's no record in my string I get an error that rst can't move to last position:/

Code:

---

rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(strSQL)

rst.MoveLast

msgbox nz(rst.RecordCount, 0)

---

So the question is, how to check correctly RecordCount even if my query in string has no record?

It's about DAO.Recordset
