Excellent!
Can you take a look on the following?

ccount=getfiltercount("mytable", "between(id,521548,529785)")
thisform.txt1.value=ccount

function getfiltercount(tctable, tcfiltercondition)
	local lnselect, lncount
	lnselect = select() && Save current work alias!
	select 0
	use (tctable) again
	count for &tcfiltercondition
	lncount = _tally
	use
	select(lnselect)
	return (transform(lncount))
endfunc
