Having a mental block. I have a list with several sub summary fields. On the layout I display a count of the number of records included in each sub summary and this works as expected. Five records in sub summary X, count displays 5. Eleven records in sub summary Y, count displays 11. etc.

How can I trap the sub summary count value in a script variable? Everything I can find or think of yields the total record count or found count. I need to trap the layout specific count values for the current sort sub summary sections. Is this even possible?

Not sure what "trap the sub summary count" means. Perhaps you wish to set a var to the value? Use GetSummary( ) or SQL.

Are you saying you want a count (total), of the sub-summary count (total)?  Based on your description of just X (5) & Y (11), you want to be able to show 16?

Thanks Steve. GetSummary() is what I could not remember. I appreciate the assist.

Hi Barbara (a.k.a.) Bcooney,

I don't think that iking42 noticed that you posted because Steve and you have the same color icons. Wonder what ever happened to our old icons/pictures/etc?  I guess you have to actually create your own or the Forum creates it for you.

Yeah anyone who confuses myself and Barbara, is really insulting Barbara

BTW, the OP did quote you, and they are listed as an 'Expert'.
