Recordset count property always returns -1

Description

The recordset class has a count property that is populated internally with the number of records in the recordset. Sometimes this count property contains the value '-1' even when the recordset has records.

Cause

Recordsets returned by the SearchExpression method will always have a count value of '-1'. This is a known issue.

The same is true for the SearchShape and SearchByDistance methods if the third argument 'expression' is used with anything other than a null string.

Solution or Workaround

Code:
Set recs = aMapLayer.SearchExpression("AFIELD = 'AVALUE'")

Dim stats As MapObjects2.Statistics
Set stats = recs.CalculateStatistics("FeatureID")
MsgBox "The number of records is:  " & stats.Count
