Show record count in found set

[gata]

Hello,

I am creating a book search solution for kiosk mode- which means that none of the toolbars will show in the layouts.

I have a search function for a user to locate book records. Each search will bring a user to a layout listing all of the books for a certain author for instance. I would like to have a field at the top of the page that says "your search returned [x amount] of results". I am unsure how to create a field that will calculate the number of records found and display it.

Any help appreciated!

Download the FileMaker Pro Development Standards from http://www.coresolutions.ca/FileMaker/standards.php.

The method is there.

In version 6, it is called Status(CurrentFoundCount).

In Version 7, it is probably called Get(CurrentFoundCount)

Use the double at sign @@ for the Record Number. You insert this on the layout in layout mode under Insert.

The Found cound create a calculation field using the Get(CurrentFoundCount).

Hi Ronald,

I just did a search in standards.pdf for "kiosk", "Found Count", "Current Found Count" and Status(CurrentFoundCount). The only hit was for the Status(CurrentFoundCount) which showed Core Solutions naming conviction "zc.recFound.u" which is kind of what I was expecting.

If I'm missing something here, could you please point me at page or section.

TIA

In 7, it's Get(FoundCount), and it must be an unstored calculation in all versions.
