Thanks everyone. Here is what I use when I need to determine the NUMBER of
records, it just seems like a lot of code to see if there are ANY records.

Dim dbs As Database, rs(1) As Recordset, strQry(1) As String, intCt As
Integer

Set dbs = CurrentDb
strQry(1) = "SELECT Count(tblNewTransCodes.fldDesc) AS CountOffldDesc FROM
tblNewTransCodes;"
 Set rs(1) = dbs.OpenRecordset(strQry(1))
        intCt = rs(1).Fields("countoffldDesc")
 If Not (rs(1) Is Nothing) Then rs(1).Close: Set rs(1) = Nothing   
If Not (dbs Is Nothing) Then dbs.Close: Set dbs = Nothing

What is the easiest way in code to determine if a table has at least one
record? TIA
