Count Property Example (VJ++)

This example demonstrates the Count property with two collections in the Employees database. The property obtains the number of objects in each collection, and sets the upper limit for loops that enumerate these collections. Another way to enumerate these collections without using the Count property would be to use For Each...Next statements.
