Since no one really gave you the real answer to your question, just sugestions on how to handle it.. here goes.

reccount() is the record count of the CURRENT work area... which, as you can see from your code is t1...

The _tally tells you how many records are selected...

So, you are comparing two differnt values...

So... as someone said, prior to your reccount() you have to select tmp or pass the alias to reccount() ie. reccount('tmp')... if you do this they should match.
