display total number of records.

[macaroni]

I have a layout and at the header I want to display the total number of records. Everytime I go to this layout I want to show the number of records.

What is the best way to do this?

Do I need to create a field and each time I go to this layout, run a script with SetField ["totalrecs", "Status(CurrentRecordCount)"]?

Is there a way to update the field without the need to set it all the time.

i.e it updates itself...it possible

Thanks.

Create an UNSTORED calculation field "RecCount"

RecCount = Status(CurrentRecordCount)

Put this field in the header.
