Shedding the Status Area

[Wickerman]

I'm doing my best to 'professionalize' my designs, trying to hearken to the advice I gleaned from the White Paper for Novices, so it's time for me to shed the Status Area in my layouts.

This is probably a really simple question, but how do I find the information for the Records counts -- total # of records / Records in Found Set, and the Current Record number? It seems like these would probably be gotten from some Caluculation functions -- and put in, maybe global fields? I've poked around and can't seem to find what I need.

THanks

Look into Get (FoundCount), Get(TotalRecordCount), and Get(RecordNumber).

For Record number you could also just use @@ on the layout to display the record number.

Remember to make those calculations UNstored so they will update properly.

Thank you both! I need to sit myself down for an afternoon and familiarize myself with the whole category of 'Get' functions!
