Kengwen,
Since you say you are counting records and don't want deleted records I'm assuming that you are not looking for the number of fields in a single record (your first line "specific fields in the table" is a little confusing). Use the deleted() function to avoid deleted records or SET DELETED ON before running the Select statement.

Select count(invoiceno) as Rcount;
from invoice;
where !deleted()

will get all records not deleted.
