It is possible (but not recommended) to use the RecordCount property on the Recordset object as follows:

iTotalRecords = rsscroll.RecordCount

If your table is really large, this can take a long time to run. I would instead run a separate SQL query to get the total records

SQL = "SELECT COUNT(*) AS TotalRecords FROM tblItems WHERE expiration_date > getdate() "
set rsRecordCount = conn.Execute(SQL)
if not rsRecordCount.Eof then
  iTotalRecords = rsRecordCount.Fields("TotalRecords")
else
  iTotalRecords = 0
end if
rsRecordCount.Close
set rsRecordCount = nothing
