How to show layoutname and total records

[ML2008]

How can I have the layout name and the total number of records show on layouts?

Pretty simple really. Create 2 new fields, type:calculation, named CurrentLayout and CurrentFoundCount or something of your liking. I use zc_CurrentLayout and zc_CurrentFoundCount. z to alphabatize them at the end of my field list and c to indicate calculation.

zc_CurrentLayout is defined using the Get function, Get( LayoutName )

zc_CurrentFoundCount is defined using the Get function, Get( FoundCount )

You can place these fields on any layout to display the info you want.

Take it a step further to enhance the utility of your interface and create the calc field:

zc_RecordIndicator: "Record " & Get( CurrentRecord ) & " of " & Get( FoundCount). Make sure the calculation result is text and unstored.

This will give you the standard "Record 1 of 250" format users are familiar with. Add to this navigation arrows to move to the First, Next, Previous and Last records and you have it.
