Can a field be made to display functions such as Get (RecordCount) across tables? I would like to replicate the status area without building fields for each table. Am I dreaming here?

Use an unstored calculation field containing the Get(RecordCount) function. Then just drop this onto your layout.

This method requires a separate calc field reside in each table. Is there a way to make one calc show the correct data when placed on different Tables and table occurrances?

It doesn't appear that globals work well with Get functions. They won't update when a user changes records, etc. unless they are changed by a script, which could happen very frequently as users move around.

One thing I would like to know is how Get (RecordNumber) and Get (FoundCount) perform by themselves in an unstored calculation field in a multi-user environment. What is the best way to replicate these parts of the Status Area in FM if the unstored calcs don't work like I want them to (as I mentioned above)?

Is there any help out there?

An unstored (not global) calculation of Get (FoundCount) will return different results for each user/window.

Thank you very much!
