Ok.....the answer is too simple?...right?...I certainly hope so.....I have 500 records....I search for all with first name of "David"....it gives me 25 records.....how on Heavens earth do I get this number to show up (in its own field) on my layout?....Or the number of any other "find records" search that I do?....I gotta be overlooking the obvious...right?

Check out the Get Functions. There should be one that is something like Get(CurrentFoundCount).

"CurrentFoundCount" gives me the total records in the database :-(

If the found count equals every record in the database, yep.

Here is the description pasted from the Online Help

Returns a number that represents the number of records in the current found set.

Try a find for something that finds something less than the whole database.

Use an unstored number calculation of Get(FoundCount). CurrentFoundCount doesn't exist in version 7, except for a typo in the Help file under Exit Script. Get(TotalRecordCount) returns the number of records in the file.

Would you elaborate on your solution, please? I still get the total records in the database when using the get function.....

:-( woe is me................

I'm sure you know by now, after the multiple posts, that the field should be an unstored, non-global, calculation with a number result. And by unstored I mean 'Do not store calculation result' is selected in the Storage Options.
