eddyb2 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Hi I run a script on a button to perform a find This finds the records based on the users criteria then takes them to a new layout to display the results. On this layout i would simply like to add a line of text that says "Displaying X of X records found" just as it does in IWP. Is there an easy way of doing this or am I looking at using calcualted fields to do this. I know there are certain symbols you can use on a layout to display username, version, last modified etc I was wondering if the same is true for current record of current found records? I dont know if this makes a difference but it is a hosted database on FMSA 9 with clients perfoming finds in FMP 9 Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldipalo Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 This will work. Make text changes to say what you want. Create a global field. Set as a calculation. Add the following: Let([ Fc = Get(FoundCount); Tc =Get ( RecordNumber )]; "Viewing " & Tc & " of " & Fc) & " records." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcooney Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 You need a calc field, result text, unstored: RecString = Get (foundcount) & " records found out of " & Get (recordcount) & " total records." You can put this as a merge field in the footer of your list view. I put one of these in each table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyb2 Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 I was along the right lines with my calc field - just found the issue was storage - do not store calculate when needed... Thanks both for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
