I'm attempting to make result counting optional in my program, so that the
initial results of a search are accessible to be examined while the query
completes in the background (by ADO, not on a separate thread of my app).

The program already lets the user choose a server or client cursor, with a
cancel box with the latter so long searches can be aborted (even though ADO
will block on the Recordset->Cancel() call if the search involves a sorted
result set).

After the search, I have a routine which goes through the result set and sets
field format information, as well as a few OnGetText handlers to display some
fields in human-readable format.

With a server cursor, this routine works fine.  With a client cursor, it does
nothing, because the reported field count is 0, and it has no fields to loop
through.

I tried putting in a delay loop (with a Sleep() call in the middle) that
waited for the field count to not be equal to 0, but it runs forever.

With a check of the RecordCount property, however, everything works with a
client cursor.

So, what can I do to get a field count without checking the record count with
a client cursor?
