Reccount() should not change so put it to a variable and use it instead of calling reccount() so often.

If you have no index then the table should be in recno() order. So instead of using recno() set an index variable that you add 1 to as you go through the scan.

Local i, TotalCount

TotalCount = RECCOUNT()

FOR i = 1 to TotalCount & is one way
display i and TotalCount the way you want.
