Informix OLEDB driver and "RecordCount" property

Hi Informixers, why is the "RecordCount" property of a recordset retrieved via the Informix OLEDB driver always "-1"? I'm using VisualBasic 6 and need the RecordCount property for subsequent calculations. With the ODBC driver, I had to use the "MoveLast" and "MoveFirst" methods before the RecordCount was set correctly. This doesn't help any more with OLEDB, it stays at "-1" even after a "MoveLast". In production, I'm still at CSDK 2.70, but even the ifxoledbc.dll from the newest CSDK 2.81.TC3 didn't change this.
