I have a very changeable cursor that is based off of what is typed (interactively) in a text box... it limits the displayed records to text matches of 3 different fields in the cursor. I would like to return the number of records that are display (matches) as this changes. I have it working by calling an identical COUNT FOR expression TO where the expression is the same as the filter expression and storing the result in the TO. It just seems that there might be a quicker, less cpu taxing, way of doing that... like a reccount() except that only shows ALL records in the table, not the filtered ones. I noticed when I was running this from the Project Manager that the status line listed #### records as I ran the form. This appears to be the number of records in the filtered set... where does THAT come from then?
