I want to avoid the 'use in cursor' (and to save typing).
_TALLY its like reccount (I think that reccount is better) .
Array takeing me to other typing and problems.
Can I say to fox:
ccount=getfiltercount("select distinct id from mytable;
where between(mytable.id,1583,1927);
and mytable.state=='NY'")
thisform.txt.value=ccount


function getfiltercount
lparameters cquery
&(cquery+' into cursor tmp1 nofilter')
icount=reccount('tmp1')
return transform (icount)
endfunc
