>I've been wondering this for a while: Is there an accurate way to determine how many records are in a filtered table? RecCount() doesnt' work, it's not affected by filters. _TALLY doesn't work, Filters aren't an SQL command. (or at least Set Filter To isn't).

_tally does work, but you have to COUNT first. SET FILTER doesn't actually process any records.
SET FILTER TO ...
COUNT
? _TALLY
GO TOP
Of course, as many of the other responses stated, you can COUNT directly to a variable.
