# PageCount Property (ADO)
Indicates how many pages of data the [Recordset](../../../ado/reference/ado-api/recordset-object-ado.md) object contains.  
  
## Return Value  
 Returns a **Long** value that indicates the number of pages in the **Recordset**.  
  
## Remarks  
 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](../../../ado/reference/ado-api/pagesize-property-ado.md) 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, the value will be -1 to indicate that the **PageCount** is indeterminable.  
  
 See the **PageSize** and [AbsolutePage](../../../ado/reference/ado-api/absolutepage-property-ado.md) properties for more on page functionality.
