>>My users want to see the _TALLY to the right of a MENU OPTION that says: ALL RECORDS FOR YOUR AREA. Can I add the _TALLY right beside the name?

>My Question is : In the MENU, Can you put a reccount() on the same line as the menu name?

You mean you want to have a menu like this:

BAR 1 "MY MENU BAR 1"
BAR 2 "MY MENU BAR 2"
BAR 3 "MY MENU BAR 3"
BAR 4 "TOTAL RECORD IS 10000"

Where 10000 is based on RECCOUNT() value. Possible... although its hard to manipulate because you have to redefine your menu bar everytime RECCOUNT() chages its value.

DEFINE BAR 100 OF MenuPopupName PROMPT "MY CURRENT RECORD"+STR(RECCOUNT("mytable"))
