Bruce, depending on how you're moving your pointer you could use the following. I'm guessing that you're moving the pointer in a grid and have the count showing in a text box or label.

SELECT Count(*) FROM Child ;
    WHERE Child.ForeignKey = Parent.PrimaryKey ;
    INTO ARRAY laCount

You can use the laCount[1] like a variable by just using laCount.
