counting and stopping records

OK, this what I need to happen. A user pushes a button to create a new record. A script checks to see how many records there are. If there are 5, a window saying "you can't have more than 5" pops up and stops the script. If there are less than 5 then the script will create a new record and quit.

How do I write this script? I know how to create a new record and display a message in a window. How do you test to see how many records there are?

Thanks for your time

It may be like this:

If Status(CurrentFoundCount)<5

New Record Request

else

Show Message("You can't have more than 5")

Endif

Status function works in V6, but in 7 You must use Get-function.

You may want to use Get(TotalRecordCount) if you want to include all records in the file and not only those in the found set.
