Clients and Server refer to data-servers and data-clients.

In this case, client refers to the OLEDB Cursor service (ie the one on your
webserver), and server refers to the underlying data source (eg you DBMS).

As I said before, if you use adUseClient, you get an adOpenStatic cursor,
which supports recordCound.

Otherwise, keep the adUseServer cursor, and use an adOpenStatic, or
adOpenKeyset cursor.

However, if you want to use adOpenForwardOnly, you'll need to use .getRows,
and evaluate the UBound() of the resulting array.
